TASER USED
The North Bay Police Service received a call to attend a residence within the city on the 2nd of June shortly after 11 PM. This request was from a local social agency who was dealing with a client that exhibited mental problems. They were trying to apprehend this person under the Mental Health Act. The officers arrived and observed that a male was within the residence. The song Bad Boys was being played very loudly and repeatedly. The man was wearing sunglasses, and a gas mask, while mixing liquids within two glass containers.

Eventually Cst. Jason Long managed to convince the man to come outside and as he did so he held an unknown object in his hand and lunged at another officer. This officer then used the taser to incapacitate the 26-year-old man. He recovered without injury and was then apprehended under the Mental Health Act and brought to the Hospital for psychiatric observation.



THREATS
On June 2 shortly before noon, Cst. Jeff Warner and Mike Hunter of this Service were called to a residence within the c
Oity, in regards to threats that had been made. It is alleged that a man unlawfully entered the residence and threatened the female occupant as well as that of another person. The officers arrested him without incident.

David NEIL, 28, of Maher Street, is charged with uttering threats, breach of probation, criminal harassment and unlawfully being in a dwelling house. He was kept in custody awaiting a bail hearing.

BREAK AND ENTER
On June 2 between the hours of 9 AM and 7 PM, thieves entered a residence in the 300 block of Park Avenue via a sliding bedroom window at the rear of the residence. Once inside they stole cash, a Rexall digital camera, a Lyra MPS player and large headphones. Investigators believe that the suspect must be of small stature to have entered the home through such a small opening.

Anyone with information on this crime or any other is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 476-8477.
