Man arrested for flashing BB gun in northern B.C.
A seized BB pistol is seen in this image handed out by the Fort St. John RCMP. Mounties in Fort St. John say they arrested a man who flashed a pistol at a member of the public, which was later found to be a BB gun. In a news release, the RCMP said officers received a report of a man brandishing a gun while walking in the area of 87 Street and 99 Avenue just before 10 p.m. Thursday. Police said they arrested an intoxicated man matching the suspect description on the grounds of possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose. They seized the pistol, which was not a firearm but a BB gun. 'Because the Fort St. John RCMP take firearms calls very seriously, calls of this nature will always draw a significant police response,' said Const. Chad Neustaeter, in the release. 'Thank you to the public who saw something they knew wasn't right and reported it to police in the interest of public safety.' The man was taken to the police station and released with conditions and a promise to appear in court on November 24.

FSJ Motocross Club suffers theft of water truck
FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — A local motocross club's water truck was reportedly stolen this winter. FSJ Motocross Club posted on a Fort St. John Facebook group on May 15th looking to the public for potential leads on where it could be. Representatives from the club said they had 'saved for years' to be able to purchase the truck. 'Two weeks before we're supposed to put on a race and it appears that our track water truck has been stolen,' read the post. 'If anyone has any leads on where it might be, please let us know.' A statement from the club said it was unsure 'of the actual date' the theft occurred because the track off 90th Street is not 'monitored much' during the winter months. The club told a water truck used on the motocross track has safety benefits for the competitors. 'When the track gets too dry, it causes too much dust to the point riders can't see,' read the statement. 'The moisture helps make the track a fun and safe place to ride.' With a Peace Motocross Association-sanctioned event coming up on May 24th, FSJ Motocross Club may have to rely on a sponsor to provide assistance to get water on the track. In a statement, Fort St. John RCMP Constable Chad Neustaeter said the investigation remains ongoing, and although the theft was reported on May 15th, it took place 'sometime before May 3rd, 2025.' The truck is described as a brown Kenworth vehicle with the Summer Bros. logo on the side. Anyone with information about the whereabouts of the missing truck is asked to contact Fort St. John RCMP at 250-787-8100. More information about FSJ Motocross Club is available on the club's Facebook page and website .
