Woman charged after attempting to grab RCMP officer’s gun

A woman was arrested after she made a grab at an RCMP officer’s gun in the Rural Municipality of Mossey River earlier this week.

Winnipegosis RCMP officers were called to a home in the RM late Sunday morning for a report of a disturbance, said an RCMP news release Wednesday.

When police arrived at the home, they found a vehicle with its windows smashed out and heard a ruckus inside, said RCMP. As they entered they were met with a man and a woman.

RCMP say the man was taken into custody. However, as they were leaving, the woman pushed the door into police, went outside and tried to get a hold of an officer’s gun. She resisted arrest, but was taken into custody.

The woman, 32, faces charges including resisting arrest, assaulting police and disarming an officer. The man, 36, is charged with assault and mischief.

Both were released on conditions with a court date.
