Passenger wields hammer on bus near Nancy Greene Lake ART HARRISON Trail Times
368-7166
Call begins for Fall Fair category entries
Greyhound bus passengers were witnesses to a bizarre incident near Nancy Greene Lake north of Rossland on June 27. Police received reports of a pas-
senger on the bus acting agitated and appeared like he might be under the influence of an illegal substance. The suspect, who is still at large, was said to have paced the aisle of the bus and went in and out of the washroom. When approached by the bus
driver the individual, who allegedly had a hammer and screwdriver in his hands, leapt out of the bus window and was seen running around on the highway. Castlegar and Trail RCMP attended the scene and made patrols of the surrounding area but
were unsuccessful in locating the man. Grand Forks RCMP were notified of the incident and road blocks were set up to try to either apprehend or identify the man. Efforts were unsuccessful. No injuries were reported and damage in the bus was said to be minimal.
