A man is in custody after an altercation in which he sprayed a police dog with bear mace and was tasered twice, according to the Regina Police Service.
The man faces several charges including two counts of assaulting a police officer, carrying a concealed weapon and resisting arrest, according to a news release on Sunday.
The police K-9 unit "came across" the man in the 1000 block of Angus Street at about 5:50 p.m. CST Saturday. Police did not specify where the man involved lives or his age.
The man pointed a can of bear mace at the officer in what police called a "threatening manner," and wouldn't cooperate with demands to drop the mace.
That's when police said the officer released his dog, which the man sprayed with bear mace.
The officer then used his taser twice on the man because the first deployment was ineffective.
Police said the use of the taser has been documented and will be subject to an internal review by a Regina police use of force review board with oversight from the Saskatchewan Police Commission.
P.E.I.'s Public Schools Branch is looking for 50 substitute bus drivers, and it'll be recruiting at three job fairs on Saturday, June 8. The job fairs are located at the Atlantic Superstore in Montague, Royalty Crossing in Charlottetown, and the bus parking lot of Three Oaks Senior High in Summerside. All three run from 9 a.m. until noon. Dave Gillis, the director of transportation and risk management for the Public Schools Branch, said the number of substitute drivers they're hiring isn't unusual. "We are always looking for more. Our drivers tend to have an older demographic," he said.
