Murray Wood: Of Easter bunny bells and Juicy Fruit gum
For Murray Wood, Easter brings to mind grandma's practical advice about repurposing, and some of life's little lessons.
Seven people have been arrested after a standoff in Saskatoon on Wednesday.
The gangs and guns unit with the Saskatoon Police Service noticed a man known to have warrants go inside a home in the 100 block of Avenue O South and barricade the door.
Officers put up a perimeter while the gangs and guns unit tried to get a warrant. During this time, someone inside the home called police saying others inside were being held hostage.
Around 3 p.m., the tactical support unit busted downs the door. Ten people left the home and were detained by police.
Seven of them were charged including:
- An 18-year-old man who was charged with public mischief and breach of undertaking
- An 18-year-old woman arrested for breach of undertaking and outstanding warrants
- A 19-year-old man arrested for breach of recognizance and numerous outstanding warrants
- A 19-year-old man is charged with impersonation, public mischief, breach of recognizance and outstanding warrants.
- A 20-year-old woman and a 28-year-old man were both arrested on outstanding warrants.
- A 33-year-old man was arrested for two breaches of recognizance and numerous outstanding warrants.
The seven were scheduled to appear in Saskatoon Provincial Court Thursday afternoon.
