EDSON – Mounties in Alberta say charges have been laid against a man who they say showed up at a school and started hucking jerky and slinging bible verses.
RCMP say officers from Edson, west of Edmonton, were called about a man reportedly acting strangely.
They say the man was seen throwing beef jerky and yelling bible verses at students.
Investigators allege when the principal approached, the man pulled out a cap gun and fired three shots in their direction before leaving in a car.
RCMP say officers tracked down the vehicle and, after a chase that involved police dogs and air services, stopped the car on a private farm east of the town of Hinton.
A 39-year-old man from Dawson Creek, B.C., is charged with mischief, dangerous driving and imitation firearm charges.
