RCMP arrest Marystown man following a remote cabin assault
One person suffered minor injuries, and a 38-year-old Marystown man was arrested by Burin Peninsula RCMP, after reports of an assault that occurred at a remote cabin in the area.
Police were called just before 3:30 Saturday morning. A man had allegedly assaulted a group of people and caused damage to the cabin. The suspect left the scene on a snowmobile, but returned to the cabin a short time later where he was arrested without incident.
One victim was transported to the Burin Peninsula Health Care Centre to be treated for non-life threatening injuries. The suspect was charged with assault while choking, suffocating, or strangling, two counts of assault, uttering threats against a person, and uttering threats to destroy property.
The investigation is ongoing.
