A 32-year-old man is facing numerous charges in connection with Saturday’s officer-involved shooting near 118 Avenue and 106 Street. Dusty Sand, 32, is facing numerous weapon-related offences, after he allegedly brandished a knife and what turned out to be a replica pistol, during a confrontation with Downtown Division Patrol members just before 2 a.m., Dec. 28th.
Sand is charged with possession of an offensive weapon (x2), and one count each of carrying a concealed weapon, pointing a firearm, use of an imitation firearm while committing an indictable offence and uttering death threats.
Background:
Downtown Division Patrol members responded to a weapons complaint called in to police from Edmonton Transit early Saturday morning.
Once on scene, members located a male suspect, who appeared to brandish a firearm. The suspect was confrontational and refused the officer’s repeated instructions to drop the weapon. A round was subsequently discharged by a police member.
The male suspect sustained a superficial injury from the discharged round and was taken into police custody. Charges are still pending at this time.
The Director of Law Enforcement was notified and instructed the EPS to conduct the investigation.
