A 38-year-old man is behind bars after being caught at a Cornerstone business with a knife and an improvised gun.

Prince Albert Police were called to a business in the 800 Block of 15th Street East at about 6:20 p.m. Wednesday for a report of a physical altercation.

When they got there, the suspect was in the custody of security personnel and was arrested moments later.

Officers investigated further and found the improvised gun and a knife.

The suspect, who is well known to the court system, had been asked to leave and did not comply, resulting in the altercation. The other person in the altercation received minor injuries and refused further medical care.
