KAMLOOPS — A woman screaming from a downtown Kamloops hotel room led to an arrest Monday (May 3).

In a news release, Kamloops RCMP spokesperson Cst. Crystal Evelyn says at about 10:15 a.m. Monday, a woman was reported screaming from a room in a hotel in the 300-block of St. Paul Street. The only hotel in that block is the DoubleTree by Hilton.

The woman was screaming for help, mentioning a stabbing.

No room number was provided in the report, causing officers to search two floors of the hotel before finding the correct room.

Investigators determined there was no stabbing, but arrested a man for a series of offences, including assault, breach and forcible confinement.
