Maple Ridge, B.C. - On Sunday November 18. 2007, Ridge Meadows R.C.M.P. encountered a male who had to be forcibly taken into custody.
At approximately 12:30 a.m. police were alerted to an intoxicated man and a young child, who did not have any pants on, in the 22300 block of Lougheed Highway, Maple Ridge, B.C. Members from the General Duty section were directed to a local liquor establishment where the man and child had been dropped off. Police located both the young child and the man, who is the child’s father, inside the bar. In trying to do an investigation, the man obstructed the police officers, and he was placed under arrest. The man, who was intoxicated, immediately became resistant, and had to be forcibly taken into custody after displaying combative behavior. "At no time did we use pepper spray, or a taser," said police spokesperson, Corporal Ryan Schlecker. The behavior continued when he was placed in the back seat of the police car and continued back to the police detachment. The man refused to exit the police vehicle, and tried to damage it. Eventually he was taken out, and placed in a jail cell. Police later contacted a family member, that was agreeable with the Ministry of Child and Family Development, who attended to pick up the child.
After the male was placed in cells, it was learned that there was an outstanding warrant for the man, and he was remanded in custody by a Justice.
Later on Sunday November 18, 2007, the man complained of some pain in his back, so police arranged for him to be examined by members of the B.C. Ambulance Service, who took the man to Ridge Meadows Hospital. At the hospital, x-rays revealed the man had a broken hip, so police made arrangements for the man to be released to the care of the hospital. The man will have to appear at a later date to answer to the charge of Obstructing a Peace Officer.
Corporal Ryan Schlecker further stated, "This entire incident is under investigation. Our Serious Crimes Unit is examining all of the details to determine what happened. I encourage anyone who has any information, or witnessed this incident to contact Ridge Meadows R.C.M.P. at 604 463-6251. Our office will not be able to speak further on this matter until this investigation is complete."
