Brockville woman wanted on warrant apprehended after resisting arrest

A woman who was wanted for breaching her bail and probation conditions was taken into custody after resisting arrest during a police interaction on Buell Street.

On April 9, at about 11 a.m., an officer from the Brockville Police Service was on patrol when they observed a 32-year-old female who was known to be wanted on an arrest warrant for failing to comply with her release order of bail and her probation order.

Police say in a media release that the officer approached the suspect on Buell Street, but she began to resist arrest.

Others nearby began recording the interaction to post on social media.

“The officer attempted to deescalate the situation while assistance from other officers was on route,” the media release states. “As the subject was continuing to resist, supporting officers arrived.”

The woman was eventually taken into custody without injury, police say.

She was arrested on the warrant and held for a bail hearing after additionally being charged with resist arrest and failing to comply with probation.
