Brochet Standoff Resolved on Facebook

The RCMP turned to Facebook to resolve a barricaded persons incident in Manitoba’s North.  Officers were called out to a home in Brochet Sunday, on a complaint of a man who’d allegedly committed an assault and was holed up in a home with the victim and a weapon.  Patrol officers couldn’t talk the suspect out, so the Emergency Response team was dispatched.  A woman was able to escape from the home. Phone service wasn’t available so negotiators turned to Facebook.  After an all night session on the internet, the suspect surrendered.  A 37-year old man from Brochet faces several charges.
