Regina Police say an officer with the Canine Unit came across a man in the 1000 block of Angus Street Saturday evening shortly before 6 p.m. who pointed a can of bear mace at the officer.

The individual resisted arrest, according to police, and wouldn’t comply with police commands to drop the bear spray.  That is is when a police dog was sent in and the suspect sprayed the dog.

The officer deployed a Conducted Energy Weapon, twice, to gain control of the situation.  The man is now facing multiple charges including  two counts of assault on a police officer.
