A man was taken into custody early this morning, following a struggle with several police officers responding to a report on Clapperton Road.
On April 1, 2025, at approximately 1:55 a.m., Kamloops RCMP Detachment frontline officers attended a building on the 200-block of Clapperton Road, where a man had allegedly attempted to gain entry. Police located a suspect nearby and told him he was under arrest.
The suspect allegedly ran from police toward Leigh Road, where another officer located him and attempted to take him into custody, said Corporal Crystal Evelyn, Kamloops RCMP Detachment spokesperson. A foot pursuit followed in which the suspect began yelling for help and actively resisted arrest and in the process, inflicted several non-life-threatening injuries on the officer.
