Lloydminster RCMP arrest woman after standoff

Lloydminster RCMP say that a standoff with an armed woman ended without injury.

On the evening of  Wednesday April 8, police were notified that a resident with an outstanding warrant lived on the 5000 block of 56B street.

When officers attended the home, they found the 25-year-old woman barricaded inside a bedroom. She said that she had a gun, and threatened to shoot anyone who entered. Police then confirmed that there was a shotgun inside, along with several syringes and methamphetamine.

Officers negotiated with her for two and a half hours, before negotiations trailed off and they forced their way into the roome.
