EDMONTON - A Saskatchewan Mountie is facing firearms charges in Alberta.

Const. Dale Malbeuf of the Morse detachment in southern Saskatchewan was arrested this week at a home in Edmonton.

Police allege the officer produced and pointed a firearm at a woman in the home.

Malbeuf appeared in Edmonton court Wednesday on charges of pointing a firearm and careless use of a firearm.

He was released on conditions and is to attend court again Jan. 6.

RCMP say Malbeuf, on the force for 12 years, has been suspended with pay.
