Two Manitoba RCMP officers suffered minor injuries while arresting a man wanted for manslaughter and breaching conditions Monday afternoon.

According to RCMP, officers with the Swan River detachment attended a home on Second Avenue South to investigate a report that a suspect possessing an outstanding warrant was hiding at the home.

Tyrone Guiboche, 41, was wanted on charges of manslaughter and breaching court conditions. RCMP said he was found in a back room of the home. When officers tried to arrest him, RCMP said he broke free and ran out the back door.

A short chase took place, and officers used their Tasers to arrest Guiboche. RCMP say Guiboche fought while being handcuffed, and two officers sustained minor injuries.

In addition to the manslaughter charge, Guiboche was also charged with two counts each of assaulting a police officer and resisting/obstructing a police officer. None of the charges have been proven in court.
