A man was arrested by police after his failed escape attempt took a soggy turn and left him up the creek with no where to go.
up the creek
On Tuesday, May 6th, 2025, around 11:30 a.m., the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP’s Indigenous Policing Service Officer was investigating a report of suspicious person on Westside Road. The officer came across what appeared to be a temporary camp in a wooded area near Bonneau Road and while inspecting the camp, the officer discovered two firearms in plain view. The firearms were secured and while the officer was assessing the area, a male suspect returned to the camp and immediately upon seeing the officer, quickly fled. After a brief foot chase, the suspect jumped into a nearby creek and perched himself on a log in the middle of the fast moving water to avoid capture.
Given the heightened risk, a critical incident response was initiated and members of the RCMP Southeast District Emergency Response Team, Police Dog Services, and a crisis negotiator were deployed to assist in safely resolving the situation. With the man refusing to come to shore, police contained the area and eventually negotiated a peaceful surrender.
The 35-year old man remains in custody and is expected to appear in court later today.
