Timmins Police have arrested the fugitive they spent the day looking for in Schumacher.
A couple of hours after reopening Schumacher, officers arrested the 19-year-old from Toronto on James Avenue. It’s the short street off the north end of Brunette Road that connects Lakeshore Drive and Toke Street.
A person under the age of 18 was also arrested. Police aren’t revealing the connection between the two, at least until a news release Wednesday morning.
The saga began when, police say, the man was involved in an altercation with officers in a hotel parking area in Timmins. He took off. The search began when his car was found in Schumacher a short time later.
*UPDATE 10:30am Wednesday*
Thunder Bay Police are confirming that the 19-year-old man who was the subject of that search in Schumacher yesterday, is wanted in that city for first-degree murder.
