A man was arrested without incident before being transported to the detachment.
Meanwhile, an officer waited with the snowmobile for a tow truck when a woman attempted to remove an item from the vehicle.
According to police, the woman was told she’d be arrested and an altercation occurred before being taken into custody.
The woman was then transported to the police station.
After released from custody, the woman attended a local hospital where some injuries were discovered.
