Aug 12, 2019 | 7:01 AM

JASPER- On August 10, at approximately midnight, RCMP officers were called to Pine Bungalows for a noise complaint.

While on scene, a police check revealed that a 31-year-old woman from White Rock, British-Columbia had a warrant out for her arrest out of Edmonton and was taken into custody.

Her husband then came out of a cabin and interfered with officers as they were taking his wife away.

The 29-year-old man, also from White Rock, B.C., was being very disruptive and belligerent which caused multiple guests to come out of their cabins wondering what was causing the disturbance.

He was arrested on an obstruction charge and during the arrest, physically resisted officers and uttered threats against them.

While RCMP officers were attempting to take him into custody, a friend of his physically interfered with the arresting officers and was arrested for obstructing a police officer.

His wife then ran up to the scene and assaulted one of the officers.

While she was being placed under arrest an altercation ensued which resulted in her being tasered.

That led to her handcuffed husband kicking one of the officers who was on the ground.

Additional police officers along with a Parks Canada Law Enforcement Warden were called to the scene and safely took all the involved parties into custody.

As a result of the altercation, three people face nine charges including resisting arrest, assaulting a police officer, and uttering threats.

Ironically, no charges were laid against the 31-year-old woman from White Rock.

She was taken into custody on her arrest warrant.

As charges have not been sworn yet, no names have not been released.
