Bashaw RCMP have laid weapons and assault charges against a 44-year-old man.

Mounties say it was at about 2:20 on Feb. 22 when they responded to a report of an assault at a home in Mirror where the victim was struck with a shotgun.

RCMP set up containment around the home, then the Alberta RCMP Emergency Response Team was deployed. After some negotiation, the suspect surrendered and was arrested.

Bashaw RCMP drafted a search warrant, and with help from the Central Alberta Crime Reduction Unit, a search warrant was conducted at the home. There, a shotgun and ammo were seized.

The victim suffered minor injuries. RCMP add the alleged assault was not random.
