On Saturday, Sept. 18, shortly after 5 pm, Kamloops RCMP were called to the Star Lodge on Columbia Street West for a disturbance involving people yelling about a possible stabbing.
When officers arrived they found a man who had been stabbed and another person was performing first aid.
The man was transported to the hospital and later released with non-life threatening injuries.
After further investigation a man was located, arrested and remained in custody over the weekend.
“Police presence was visible on scene for some time following the incident as police obtained, then executed a search warrant in relation to the investigation,” said Cst. Crystal Evelyn.
A 49 year old Kamloops man was charged with: assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm, and failure to comply with a probation order by possessing a weapon and by possessing a knife outside of his residence except for the immediate preparation or eating of food.
He is due to appear in court later today.
Anyone with information about this investigation who has not yet spoken to police is asked to please contact the Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 and reference file number 2021-32895.
