Suspect arrested two months after bear spray, air rifle incident at Henderson Hwy. hotel
9:47 AM
A man has been arrested and remains in police custody after being charged with spraying bear spray inside a Henderson Highway hotel in early July. The suspect is also accused of pointing a gun, chasing people and making violent threats in the hotel’s parking lot after a dispute over a VLT ticket at the licensed establishment in the 1000 block of Henderson Highway.
Matthew Joseph Marriott, 33, was arrested Sept. 10, the Winnipeg Police Service stated in a news release Sunday. He is charged with several firearms and weapons offences as well as possession of heroin.
Police say the suspect discharged a canister of bear spray at a 36-year-old man and into the bar area of the Curtis Gordon Hotel before going into the parking lot and pointing a gun at people. The firearm was determined to be an airgun, a Sig Sauer MCX. Officers found it on scene, in a backpack, after the suspect fled. The backpack also contained bear spray a knife and a small quantity of suspected heroin, the news release stated.
