NANAIMO — A woman is facing a trio of charges after allegedly producing weapons and threatening employees at a local ferry terminal.
RCMP were called to the Hullo Terminal at 100 Port Way on Sunday, Oct. 4, at around 1 p.m. after a woman was refused boarding for a sailing after producing a ticket from the day before.
Nanaimo RCMP Res. Cst. Gary O’Brien told NanaimoNewsNOW witnesses reported the woman became agitated and ‘irate.’
“She had produced a knife…threats were directed at some employees. When we arrived, she was gone. We found her a short distance away. She was taken into custody without incident, and the knife and brass knuckles were located.”
