Police pepper sprayed and arrested the 33-year-old suspect after he kicked one of them and tried to engage the members in a fight. There were no injuries during the arrest.

The suspect is scheduled to appear in North Battleford Provincial Court Thursday to face charges of assaulting a police officer, obstruction, two counts breach of probation and two counts of failing to comply with an undertaking.
