Lunenburg District RCMP charges a man and woman after responding to an assault in progress
Lunenburg District RCMP has charged a man with multiple offences and a woman for obstructing officers after responding to an assault in progress in Hebbville.
On May 27, at approximately 6:40 a.m., Lunenburg District RCMP received a report that a man had assaulted a woman outside a home on Conquerall Mills Rd. then forced her inside the residence.
Upon arrival, officers immediately entered the home and located a woman not believed to be involved in the assault. The woman refuted officers’ belief that another woman and man were inside the home and actively attempted to obstruct officers trying to find the victim and suspect. The woman was safely removed from the residence as officers continued to search inside.
Officers then located the victim with non-life-threatening injuries and safely removed her from the residence. A short time later, they found and arrested a man who was hiding inside the home. The victim was transported to hospital by EHS and offered the support of RCMP Victim Services.
Tyler Michael Drennan, 35, of Hebbville, has been charged with:
- Kidnapping
- Forcible Confinement
- Assault
- Assault by Choking
- Failure to Comply with Order (two counts)
- Failure to Comply with an Appearance Notice
On June 7, officers charged Anna Louise Maughan, 61, of Hebbville, with Obstructing a Peace Officer.
Drennan was remanded into custody pending a future court appearance.
Maughan was released on conditions and is scheduled to appear in Bridgewater Provincial Court on July 2.
With the victim’s support, investigators can confirm this was an incident of intimate partner violence.
