A Souris man is facing a lengthy list of charges after allegedly entering a residence armed with a rifle and assaulting a woman.
Police responded to the home on the afternoon of August 27 following a report of an armed man who had assaulted someone.
Police said the suspect knocked on the door, and when a female resident answered, he asked to speak to her partner before allegedly assaulting her and pointing a high-powered rifle at her. The woman ran as her husband arrived and tackled the suspect, wrestling away the firearm and holding him until police arrived. The victims were not seriously hurt.
The suspect was taken into custody and transported to hospital for monitoring, then arrested the next morning upon his release. Officers retrieved and seized the firearm.
Kenneth Kettles, 66, of Souris, has been charged with multiple offences. He was released to appear in court at a later date.
