On Sunday, October 28, 2018 at approximately 6:32 p.m., Dartmouth Police responded to Rite-Aid on Dartmouth Street, after receiving a report of a man holding a knife to his own throat.
Upon arrival, Sergeant Scott STANTON and Officers Victor MORENCY and Darren EMOND located the male party behind the business.
While Officer EMOND engaged the male in conversation, Officer MORENCY was able to discreetly position himself in such a way that it allowed him to safely disarm and restrain the male.
