A man and a woman were arrested following an alleged uproar on a city transit bus on Tuesday evening.
Geoffery David Lamb, 30, has been charged with one count each of assaulting a peace officer, uttering threats, causing a disturbance and resisting arrest and Marsha Michelle Lewis, 29, has been charged with assault and resisting arrest, according to court records.
The two were taken into custody after RCMP were called at about 5:30 p.m. to a report of an unruly and intoxicated man harassing other passengers in the bus at the University of Northern British Columbia.
When the man and a woman who was with him were asked to get off the bus, they refused and attacked the bus driver, police were told.
In the name of safety, the bus was subsequently cleared of the all passengers and police were called in. RCMP said the first officer to arrive was pointed towards the suspects who had left the bus and were walking away from police.
Backup was called in when the two resisted arrest and, with the help of a second officer, the two were taken into custody, RCMP said. The first officer, meanwhile, attended hospital for treatment of minor injuries.
Both were held in custody overnight and were scheduled to appear for a bail hearing in provincial court today.
