On February 11th, 2024, at around 3:00 p.m., RCMP in Oliver, BC responded to a residence on Co Op Ave, for a report of intimate partner violence involving a firearm.

The female victim was able to leave the residence, while the male suspect remained inside.

The 31-year-old Oliver resident is being held for a bail hearing, with police recommending charges related to pointing a firearm and assault.

As the investigation continues, officers will remain at the residence this morning, says Cpl. James Grandy, BC RCMP spokesperson.
