KAMLOOPS — A person was arrested for trespassing and mischief at a “Drag Storytime” Kamloops Pride event over the weekend.
In a news release, Kamloops RCMP say they attended the North Kamloops Library on Tranquille Road Saturday (Aug. 26) at around 10 a.m. where anti-pride protestors were reportedly holding signs and yelling insults at those attending the event.
“While police were on scene, a protestor entered the story-time room and began filming the event, which was intended and attended by children under 18 years old,” Cpl. Crystal Evelyn says. “The protestor was asked to leave and refused to do so, resulting in an arrest… The suspect was later released pending the investigation’s conclusion.”
Police say they are also investigating a report of an assault involving a person with a sign.
