After negotiations for Strawberry’s surrender proved unsuccessful, the RCMP Emergency Response Team was called in. It was about 9:15 p.m. when police entered the building and took Strawberry and an unnamed woman into custody.

“I’m not guilty, it wasn’t me,” Strawberry yelled as he was led away in handcuffs.

“RCMP thank the public for their cooperation in avoiding the area during the containment and arrest, and especially appreciate the patience of those residents who were displaced during this time,” Cpl. Karen Kay says in a release. “RCMP further thank the public for not endangering police by revealing their positions on social media while the incident unfolded.”

Red Deer RCMP continue to investigate and will issue an update as more information becomes available.
