A 35-year-old man has been arrested and charged as the result of a disturbance outside a home in Happy Valley-Goose Bay.

RCMP were called around 6:00 p.m. Wednesday about a disturbance on Lethbridge Street. A passenger van had been damaged and police were told that the person responsible had run away.

A man, who police describe as intoxicated and combative, was found nearby and taken into custody.

He allegedly caused damage to the inside of a police vehicle and items inside the detachment.

Charged with three counts of damage to property, he was released on strict conditions pending a court appearance November 13th.
