Weapons – Arrest: C18-172720
On August 10, 2018, at approximately 7:10 a.m., Tactical Support Team members responded to a report of a distressed male armed with a machete outside of a residence in the Robertson area/neighbourhood.
The male, who is believed to have been coming off the use of methamphetamine, had made specific plans to attack officers and force them to shoot him. To this end, he had prepared a makeshift shield designed to prevent the deployment of a Conducted Electrical Weapon ("Taser"), taped large machetes to both of his hands and made a call himself to 911 reporting a male armed with a machete outside the residence.
As the first unit arrived on scene, the male immediately advanced on the officers who were able to retreat to a safe distance. While waiting for additional units, the male continually attempted to advance on the officers and yelled for them to shoot him.
Shortly afterwards, a less lethal weapon was used to safely take the male into custody without injury.
The Tactical Support Team would like to thank the members of public for remaining inside their residences during the incident.
A 34-year-old male of Winnipeg has been charged with:
- Possession of a Weapon
