A Cochrane, Ont., resident is accused of robbing a business on Great Northern Road, attacking an employee with a knife and resisting arrest.
Sault police say that around 8:30 p.m. on July 15, a suspect assaulted a store employee with a knife after being confronted about leaving the business without paying for goods.
“As officers attempted to arrest the accused, the accused resisted and struggled with officers,” says a news release issued today by the Sault Ste. Marie Police Service. “Despite their continued resistance, they were arrested.”
Christian Bebanong, 31, is charged with:
- Robbery
- Possession of Weapon for Dangerous Purpose
- Resisting a Peace Officer
The accused is being held in custody pending a bail hearing.
None of the allegations have been tested in court and Bebanong is considered innocent unless proven guilty.
