A pen was the weapon of choice for a man causing a disturbance Saturday night in the 600 block of Marquis Road East.
The Prince Albert Police Service was called to the hospitality business just before 8 p.m. where a man was reported to be yelling and screaming. He had been detained by the on-site security staff. When officers arrived, the man initially resisted arrest but officers were able to take him into custody shortly after.
Investigators determined that prior to their arrival the suspect attempted to stab someone with a pen.
A 33-year-old man is now facing charges relating to assault with a weapon, resisting or obstructing a peace officer and breaching court ordered conditions.
