Pepper sprayed at the pool

The pool area at the Vernon Rec Centre was evacuated Wednesday night after a man was pepper sprayed inside the facility.

The incident occurred about 9:15 p.m. when a 19-year-old man was pepper sprayed inside the men's change room.

The suspect apparently escaped through the back door of the complex.

Swimmers were evacuated as a precaution and a police dog was called to assist, but was unable to locate the suspect.

The file is still being investigated, and anyone with any information about this incident is asked to call the Vernon Detachment.
