Shortly before 10 p.m. on Saturday, RCMP responded to a report that a truck had driven between two pillars and through the doors of the Lion’s Den Pub at the Quality Inn.

There was extensive damage, but no one was injured.

The male driver was restrained by occupants of the pub until police arrived and arrested the man.
