Moose Jaw police have arrested and charged a man after a brief standoff Tuesday afternoon.

At approximately 12:30 p.m., officers attempted to arrest a man walking in the area of Hall Street West and 5th Avenue NW. Police said he was wanted on several charges.

According to a news release, when officers approached him he started running. A foot chase ensued, and the man eventually stopped and pulled out a knife.

Police used a taser on the man twice, but neither attempt worked.

The suspect then got onto a roof of a nearby home where he remained for about two hours until police negotiators convinced him to surrender peacefully.
