DAUPHIN RCMP TASER MAN WHO REFUSED TO DROP PIPE
Dauphin RCMP arrested a man on Wednesday after receiving a report of a vandal using a pipe to smash building windows and vehicles.
Mounties found a man holding a large pipe and wearing only socks and underwear, RCMP said in a news release on Friday.
The man refused to drop the pipe despite several demands, and police used a Taser on the man to take him into custody, RCMP said.
The man was taken to the hospital, as he had been outside for several minutes without proper clothing before he was arrested, RCMP media relations officer Kevin Engstrom told the Sun in an email.
The 30-year-old man faces charges of mischief under $5,000, possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose and resisting a peace officer.
Since the charges have not been sworn yet, the man’s name cannot be released, the release said.
CONCERT POSTPONED DUE TO HAND INJURY
The Clear Lake Chamber Music Festival has postponed its Sunday concert at Brandon University because a performer suffered a hand injury.
Festival director Alla Turbanova said the news of the injury was brought to the attention of organizers late on Thursday night. She declined to share details of the injury or the identity of the musician, but said the injury is considered minor.
The performance was at risk of being impacted, as well as the health of the musician, Turbanova said.
“Our priority is to make sure that when audiences hear the music, it is at its absolute best,” Turbanova wrote in an email to the Sun on Friday. “By postponing now, we ensure that when the concert does happen, it will be a performance of full vitality, energy, and artistry — something the audience truly deserves.”
The performer is following medical advice to rest and recover, she said.
Tickets for the event will remain valid for the rescheduled performance, and guests are encouraged to keep the tickets.
A future date for the concert is not yet known. It will be announced as soon as it is confirmed.
In a news release Friday, Turbanova apologized for the inconvenience of the rescheduled concert and thanked patrons for continued support.
The concert was billed as a tribute to Maurice Ravel, a French composer and pianist, with performances arranged with voice, flute and pianos.
