Charges laid in Beaver Valley arena incident

A charge has been laid in the Beaver Valley Arena incident in late March that resulted in serious injuries to a 47-year-old Fruitvale man.

RCMP say an argument over the blowing of an air horn escalated into a fight during the third period of a KIJHL playoff game between the Nitehawks and the Grand Forks Border Bruins.

Police allege the Fruitvale man was violently thrown to the ground.

RCMP posted a picture of the suspect about ten days after the incident looking for information about the man’s identity.

Police say a Grand Forks man turned himself in about a week later.

57-year-old Glenn Holbrook is accused of aggravated assault.

He is scheduled to return to Rossland Provincial Court on July 24.
