The stories making the rounds of the town's coffee shops on Wednesday gained a bit of fact to them today, with a couple of items that we found in our googling of the Internet portals.
.
According to news and police reports, the incident began at a residence on Second Avenue West and ended at a local drinking establishment, where a 39 year old Masset resident was arrested without incident.
The Daily News and the Victoria Times Colonist both have a few details on last nights excitement outside of a pub on Second Avenue West. The Times Colonist one seems to expand slightly more than the Daily News web offering, so we'll provide it below.
The incident also appears on the RCMP's regional news web page, which we also have below.
