A Beaver River man faces several charges after an incident at an inn on Willow St. in Yarmouth early Wednesday.
Yarmouth Town RCMP responded to a call just after midnight after a man entered a hotel room by kicking the door open. A woman inside the room was sexually assaulted and money was demanded before a hotel employee showed up.
RCMP Corporal Lisa Croteau says the suspect assaulted the employee before being removed from the building and running off.
“Yarmouth Town RCMP, Yarmouth Rural RCMP and RCMP Police Dog Services searched the area. The suspect was quickly found with help from witnesses. He was arrested without incident at a home on Brunswick St. in Yarmouth and remains in custody.”
Croteau says 34 year-old Christopher Joseph Bourque of Beaver River is charged with numerous offences.
“Sexual assault, robbery, two counts of break and enter, two counts of mischief, assault, unlawful confinement, assault causing bodily harm, uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm, five counts of failure to comply with an undertaking”
He’s scheduled to appear in Yarmouth Provincial Court June 3rd at 9:30 a.m.
