Backup had to be called
A woman wanted on a warrant was arrested on Buell Street after resisting police during a tense encounter caught on video.
Around 11 a.m. on April 9, a Brockville police officer saw the 32-year-old woman, who was known to be wanted for failing to comply with both her bail and probation orders.
When the officer approached, the woman began resisting arrest. Bystanders nearby started filming the incident to post on social media.
Police say the officer attempted to calm the situation until backup arrived. Once supporting officers were on scene, the woman was taken into custody without injury.
She was arrested on the outstanding warrant and now faces additional charges of resisting arrest and failing to comply with probation.
She was held in custody for a bail hearing.
The Brockville Police Service thanked the public for staying clear during the incident and confirmed the investigation is now complete.
