Man flees recovery housing program, prompts shelter-in-place at BC Interior school

At approximately 11 am today, Mounties in Logan Lake responded to a report of a 37-year-old man fleeing from the Vision Quest Society recovery housing program, where he was under a court order to stay.

Frontline officers immediately converged in the area, and upon an officer locating the man, he immediately ran and jumped over a fence, causing officers to lose sight of him.

Due to the proximity of the Logan Lake Elementary School, the school's “shelter-in-place” policy was put into effect, while officers apprehended the man.

With the assistance of a police service dog, the man was found hiding in an outbuilding.

He was safely taken into custody and held to appear before a judge.

Charges of breaching his release order, obstruction and mischief are being forwarded to the BC Prosecution Service.
