One Sooke man let his BC Hydro frustration go a little too far last night, according to the RCMP.
Police say they were called at approximately 8:30 p.m. on June 22 for a report of a man behaving in a threatening manner.
Workers in the area of 5800 Sooke Road were replacing a hydro pole and said a man was waving an 11-inch knife at them.
The man was intoxicated and was apparently displeased at the amount of time it was taking to return power to his home.
RCMP took the man into custody for a court appearance. He faces recommended charges including possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and uttering threats.
The Sooke RCMP are asking that anyone who witnessed the incident contact the detachment at 250-642-5241. Anonymous tips can be made through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
