Thunder Bay man charged after alleged assault on officer
A Thunder Bay resident, Quinn Cheechoo aged 30, is charged with assaulting a peace officer resisting arrest and failing to comply with a probation order after an attempted arrest outside a Red River Road business. He appeared in court and remains in custody. Firefighters saved a woman from the Neebing McIntyre Floodway after she entered the water and clung to a bridge piling. Paramedics treated her on shore. Separate incident: a Nipigon man, 23, faces careless driving charges after a tow truck crash east of Thunder Bay on Highway 1117. The highway was closed about three hours. Police note rising motorcycle fatalities across Ontario this riding season with 36 deaths so far, up from 23 last year.
