Just after noon, Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) were dealing with a wanted individual who was turning themselves in to police at the Blind River detachment on Causley Street in Blind River.
“While police were dealing with the wanted individual, the individual's friend attempted to interfere with the arrest,” police said in a news release Tuesday.
