On May 25, at approximately 3:20 pm, an off-duty RCMP officer in the community of Little Grand Rapids was out for a jog when a male approached the officer, spat on the officer, and threatened to throw a bicycle at the officer. The officer, being off-duty, did not enter into a confrontation with the male, but met with the local Band Constable to report it.
On-duty RCMP officers, along with the Band Constable, located Barry Duck, 43, and told him he was under arrest for assaulting a police officer. Duck resisted, but was taken into custody without incident.
Duck has been released on a Release Order.
The officer was not physically injured during the incident.
