A 37-year old Inuvik, N.W.T. man faces several charges after an incident at the Whitehorse Emergency Shelter last Sunday.
At approximately 1:45 p.m., Whitehorse RCMP responded to a call to assist staff with a violent man at the Alexander Street shelter.
Officers found a man threatening staff.
“Efforts to de-escalate the situation were unsuccessful, and the man assaulted an officer while resisting,” police said Monday afternoon.
“In an effort to ensure no other people were injured, police effectively deployed a conducted energy weapon to help take the man into custody.”
Jerry Rogers has been charged with resisting arrest, assaulting a police officer, and assault and mischief

In both years Trump trailed significantly in the national popular vote: Hillary Clinton outpolled him by 2.87 million votes four years ago; Trump is trailing Biden by 7 million votes (and counting) this year. It’s emotionally difficult to lose a presidential election, whether narrowly or in a landslide. But only one candidate can emerge as the winner. This year it’s Joe Biden.
