RCMP say a man from the Rural Municipality of Ste. Anne faces numerous charges, including assaulting a police officer, following an incident last weekend. On Sunday at 9:30 am, Steinbach RCMP were approached by a male outside a business along Highway 12 North. Police say that as the man approached, he quickly became belligerent and started to utter threats and act erratically towards officers. The male was placed under arrest but resisted and allegedly assaulted an officer. He was taken into custody and transported to the Steinbach detachment where he continued to act aggressively, assaulting another officer and uttering additional threats. Hours later, the male demonstrated calm behaviour and was taken to a secure room to place a call. Upon entering the room, he became agitated once again, and police say he caused significant damage inside the room. Officers were able to gain control and transfer him back to a cell. Thirty-three-year-old Gilbert Ste. Marie, from the Rural Municipality of Ste. Anne, was remanded into custody and charged with two counts of assaulting a police officer, resisting a peace officer, four counts of uttering threats, and mischief under $5,000. Steinbach RCMP continue to investigate.
