KAMLOOPS — RCMP have a 34 year old man in custody following a series of incidents last night ( August 19) on Columbia Street.

Sergeant Brandon Buliziuk says in a news release police responded to a number of calls from the public about a man in a suspicious vehicle. This vehicle had been reported as being involved in a hit and run and then abandoned in the 400 block Columbia Street.

Buliziuk says just after that, they got calls about a man in some sort of distress causing a disturbance at a motel in the area. The man was allegedly smashing windows and causing damage to vehicles nearby.

Police responded with a heavy presence after the man barricaded himself unlawfully in a motel room. Police negotiated with the man, and after a short time, with the help of a police service dog, the man was brought into custody.
