A Moncton man wanted on a province-wide warrant has been arrested after an extensive RCMP search in South Williamston.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police responded to a report of an unwelcome man at a home on Hwy. 201 at about 11:25 p.m. on July 3. Before officers arrived, the suspect fled into a nearby wooded area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the search, officers heard four possible gunshots coming from the woods. No injuries were reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RCMP Police Dog Services, the Emergency Response Team, remotely piloted aircraft system (drone) operators, and Kings District RCMP assisted in the search. Using drone technology, officers located a heat signature in dense brush, where the suspect was found hiding. He was arrested after resisting officers and was bitten by a police service dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The man was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, medically cleared, and remanded into custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jeffery Allan Stoddart, 33, who was already facing a charge of failing to comply with a release order, now also faces charges of failing to comply with conditions and obstructing a peace officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He is scheduled to appear in Digby Provincial Court on July 6. The investigation remains ongoing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
