The 36-year-old was found after a Sept. 9 manhunt and appeared in court on charges of uttering threats and firearm offences.
- Mounties arrested a 36-year-old woman on Sept. 15, concluding a large-scale search that unfolded on Sept. 9 in the Mount Tzouhalem and Maple Bay areas of the Cowichan Valley.
- The Sept. 9 search prompted the closure of Mount Tzouhalem, a municipally owned forest reserve, for most of the day, with the RCMP Emergency Response Team, RCMP Air Services, and RCMP Police Dog Services assisting local officers.
- Court records indicate the suspect appeared in Court on Sept. 15 to face charges of uttering threats to cause bodily harm and careless use or storage of a firearm.
- She was released on court-ordered conditions following her arrest, and Const. Tessa McDonald, media relations officer with the Duncan RCMP, confirmed "the active search has concluded, and there is no ongoing risk to public safety."
- The suspect is scheduled to return to Court on Sept. 24, while Mounties confirmed in a statement Friday that no further details are available as the matter is now before the Courts.
