Foot chase ends in arrest
Brandon police arrested a man in an alley near Princess Park on Monday afternoon.
Police said that shortly before 1 p.m. Monday they received a report of a male riding a scooter toward the Kristopher Campbell Skate Park who appeared to have a handgun. A suspect was found at the scene, but he fled when officers tried to arrest him. After a brief foot chase, he was arrested nearby. Police said the man was found with a BB gun that looked like a handgun, and a knife.
An 18-year-old Brandon man faces two counts of possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose, two counts of carrying a concealed weapon, breach of probation by having a weapon and resisting arrest.
Assault with a weapon
A 29-year-old woman was arrested Sunday after allegedly attempting to spray a neighbour with a can of bear mace.
According to police investigation, the woman was allegedly bothering a neighbour by repeatedly going to their residence and causing a scene.
The situation escalated when she proceeded to yell and scream at the neighbour before attempting to use the bear spay. However, the can was empty.
Police arrested the woman for assault with a weapon. She will appear in court on June 12.

A man who was a suspect in a break and enter to a residence in Brentwood mobile home park was located and arrested Sunday.

Theft under $5,000
