On December 5, 2014, just after 1pm, Oakbank RCMP responded to a report of an employee in possession of a prohibited weapon at the Deacon’s Reservoir Aqueduct and Water Treatment Plant.

On attending the location, police learned that an employee had brought in a taser to show co-workers. Management had confiscated the weapon and contacted RCMP.

RCMP report no injuries in this incident and that police seized the taser and arrested the employee.

Todd Lepine, 50, of Winnipeg, Manitoba, is now facing charges of possession of a prohibited weapon and possession of  a weapon dangerous to public peace. He will appear in Beausejour Provincial Court on January 20, 2015.
