Domestic dispute turns into violent encounter

Suspects facing several charges after court appearance

Daryl Anderson, 45, and Alana Sinclair, 30, are facing several charges following a domestic dispute in 100 Mile House that turned violent.

Around 6:45 p.m. on May 4, 100 Mile House RCMP were advised by a concerned citizen of a domestic dispute in progress at an apartment building located on the 700 block of Cariboo Trail.

The first officer on scene attended the residence where he encountered Anderson and Sinclair who were involved in the dispute.

While attempting to determine what was occurring, it's alleged Anderson brandished a knife and made threatening gestures to use the knife against the officer. After a brief standoff, he fled from the building.

It is also alleged Sinclair then produced a knife making threats against police, as well as causing property damage to the building and harm to herself. A brief standoff ensued and she relinquished the knife to police.

Sinclair was subsequently arrested by officers and escorted to 100 Mile District General Hospital where she was treated for self-inflicted injuries and released.

An RCMP member conducting patrols in the area located the male suspect on Cedar Avenue. The officer attempted to arrest him and it's alleged Anderson responded violently. He was subdued and arrested and taken to detachment cells.

Both the suspects are residents of 100 Mile House.

Anderson also had two outstanding warrants for his arrest from 100 Mile House and Kamloops for assault and breach of a recognizance.

100 Mile House RCMP proposed eight additional charges as a result of this incident against him, and three against Sinclair.

Anderson is due back in court in Williams Lake where he faces several charges on June 25.

Sinclair is due back in court in 100 Mile House on July 15 and she faces three charges.
