Manning Man in Custody After Altercation Monday Night

A 34-year-old Manning man is due to make a court appearance in Peace River on Monday, October 16, 2017.

Kyle Patrick Neel remains in custody; He faces charges of Possession of a Controlled Substance for the Purpose of Trafficking, Three Counts of Possession of a Controlled Substance, Careless Use of a Firearm, Mischief, Uttering Threats, and Causing a Disturbance.

It’s all connected to an incident happening on Monday, October 2 at a home in Manning’s northwest quadrant at around 11:30 PM. When they arrived, RCMP observed the suspect with a firearm seated inside a parked vehicle.

As officers negotiated with the suspect, occupants of a nearby residence were safely evacuated.

House later, the suspect surrendered without incident. No injuries were reported, and the firearm was later determined to be a BB gun.

Manning RCMP say they have no further comment in this matter, as the case is now before the courts.
