Two men have been banned from Quadra Island after a series of strange, violent outbursts late last month.
On August 25, police responded to a disturbance at the south end of Quathiaski Cove. Complainants said two men had been charging at them with weapons. When officers attended, the men were gone, but while they were taking witness statements, one returned and started attacking another individual on the property. He was arrested.
The next day officers were alerted that the second man was on the ferry to Campbell River. He was arrested without incident.
Troy Blue and Michael Knipstrom were both charged with multiple offences and were released by courts with numerous conditions, including to not return to Quadra Island. The matter is now before the courts.
