January 22, 2025

On Wednesday, January 22, 2025, shortly before 6:00 p.m., officers from the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC) Operational Patrol Services (OPS) responded to a 911 call from a residence in Mount Pearl, where the situation was unclear. Upon arrival, officers discovered that a female caller had sustained a minor injury, prompting an investigation into a domestic assault.

To assist in the investigation and locate the suspect, RNC officers contacted the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). They were informed that the individual had left the area and traveled into RCMP jurisdiction. The RNC then provided the necessary information, leading to the suspect's location and subsequent arrest. The accused has been charged with one count of common assault.

Following the arrest, the suspect was taken to the city lock-up and is being held for a court appearance scheduled for the following morning.
