That wasn't the only case involving violence in the village. At 1:28 a.m. on Mar. 10, the RCMP were advised that doorstaff at a local nightclub were involved in an altercation. The police arrived to find the doorstaff holding the male on the ground.
According to the doorstaff, the male attempted to carry an alcoholic beverage outside the establishment, and then was refused entry after the fact. A fight broke out and the male punched a member of the door staff in the face.
The male's friend informed door staff that he had a gun, and was going to shoot up the establishment.
Both men were arrested, held in cells until they were sober and released with tickets for being intoxicated in public. The second male did not have any weapons on his person. They are described as a 27-year-old and a 30-year-old from Vancouver.
Store security tracks down thief
In the afternoon of Mar. 10, staff at a local sporting goods store noticed the theft of a pair of Smith Goggles valued at $180 and Kombi gloves valued at $100. The employee of the store in charge of security reviewed the footage, and later in the village he encountered the woman. She left in a vehicle, with the employee getting a partial plate number for the RCMP.
The Stl'atl'imx Tribal Police later located the vehicle in the Mt. Currie area, and arrested the woman, described as a 23-year-old from Whistler. The stolen items were found in the car.
Skis, boards still going missing
Skiers and snowboarders are reminded to lock their equipment and keep an eye on it at all times. In the past few weeks the RCMP have received several new complaints of gear theft from the mountains and village.
Locks are recommended when leaving your gear on a rack, and skiers at the very least should separate their skis.
RCMP searching for man in theft attempt
The RCMP are seeking the public's assistance in identifying a man who has attempted several times to get change for a $100 bill, then withhold the bill from the retailer.
