Peace Regional RCMP responded to a report of an altercation between several individuals in the south-end of Peace River on August 26 at approximately 1:18 p.m., during which a firearm was alleged to have been displayed.

The suspects were reported to have fled the area in a vehicle following the incident. Police located the suspect vehicle a short time later and conducted a high risk arrest of the occupants, resulting in a temporary disruption to traffic on highway 2 the Peace River bridge.

31-year-old Mukhtar Ali of Nampa has been charged with two counts of unauthorized possession of a firearm, two counts of possessing a firearm contrary to a prohibition order, two counts of resisting a peace officer and three counts failing to comply with conditions of a recognizance.

Ali remains in custody at this time and is scheduled to appear in Falher provincial court on September 5 in relation to these matters.

Ali was previously charged in connection with an armed robbery at a liquor store in Nampa last month. Ali was set to appear in court for these charges on August 26.
