Due to the man’s violent history, and after the man’s refusal to follow police orders to exit the building, RCMP decided it would need to deploy the emergency response team, who successfully detained the man before taking him into custody.
RCMP did not name the individual taken into custody, and it’s not clear if he remains there.
At this time, police say there is no concern for public safety.
