Sharpening a knife on a transit bus landed a 54-year-old Kamloops man behind bars on Monday night.
RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said the man was on a city bus at 7:20 p.m. and sharpening a knife, which she said was making other passengers feel uncomfortable.
鈥淲hen the bus driver asked him to get off of the bus, the male threatened the driver,鈥� Shelkie said.
The bus driver stopped the vehicle on Lansdowne Street, Mounties stepped on to the vehicle and the man was arrested without incident. Shelkie said a four-inch knife and sharpener were found in his pocket.
The man is expected to appear in Kamloops Law Courts on Tuesday, facing charges of possession of a weapon dangerous to the public and uttering threats.
