HALIFAX -- The search for a runaway fugitive in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, entered its fifth day on Saturday – yielding no arrests. While town officials say the public is not at risk, there is a level of uncertainty in the community.
Police patrolled areas such as Hollingsworth Road on Saturday afternoon in search of Doucette, who is wanted on charges of assault and attempted murder after police say he stabbed an officer in the neck at a local hotel on Monday night. Additionally, police say Doucette assaulted an RCMP canine with a stick – causing the dog to be rushed to a local vet.
“The speculation that we're hearing is everything from 'oh they found him,' – last night I heard someone say they heard gunshots,” says Mitchell. “Those things aren't true and just lead to increased fear in the community – or maybe even a sense of relief that we shouldn’t yet have to let our guard down."
