A Winnipeg teenager has been arrested at St. Malo Provincial Park after allegedly assaulting two RCMP officers and uttering threats.

On June 13 at approximately 11 p.m., St. Pierre-Jolys RCMP went to the park, which is about 65 kilometres south of Winnipeg, after receiving a request from patrol officers.

A male was seen dangerously driving around the park while intoxicated, according to police.

The 17-year-old was detained by patrol officers and failed the approved screening device. He was served with an immediate roadside suspension and released on scene.

Nearly two hours later, at 12:55 a.m., patrol officers again requested assistance from the RCMP over the same teenager. It was reported that he had assaulted two officers.

The teenager was arrested for assaulting a public officer and uttering threats. He was taken into custody and released for a future court date.

St. Pierre-Jolys RCMP continue to investigate.
