At roughly 10:50 a.m., officers were called to a residence in the Milroy Drive and Rowberry Boulevard area. A verbal dispute had escalated, resulting in a woman allegedly being choked, verbally threatened and a knife brandished at her by the teen. A second woman was also allegedly verbally threatened.
Officers and K9 Gryphon made several attempts to take the teen into custody but he continued to be agitated and came at officers with a knife. As a result, an officer deployed their Conducted Energy Weapon and the male was taken into custody without further incident.
The 14-year-old Peterborough male was arrested and charged with:
Overcome Resistance by Attempting to Choke, Suffocate or Strangle another Person
Assault with A Weapon
Possession of Weapon for Dangerous Purpose
Uttering Threats - Cause death or Bodily Harm X2
