KAMLOOPS —  RCMP have one person in custody after a bizarre incident that ended at Peterson Creek this morning. 

About 2:00 AM, Corporal Brandon Buliziuk says police got a complaint from the Sahali area regarding an alleged assault and theft of a vehicle.

A 41-year old male was reported to have assaulted his father and fled in the stolen truck.

Then about 7:00 AM, RCMP got another call from someone reporting that a vehicle matching the description of the stolen truck was parked in Peterson Creek Park. A man was reported near the creek and was described as being naked.

Police established a perimeter, using general duty members, the police dog services, and other members, and closed in on the male.
