Assault, confinement charges laid after Dartmouth incident

Regional Police have laid forcible confinement and assault-related charges against two men and a woman after an incident in Dartmouth.

Just after 7 a.m. Thursday, police responded to a home on Main Street after a 20-year-old woman reported she and a 25-year-old man had been held against their will in an apartment on Roleika Drive.

Officers didn’t find anyone there, but investigation led them to a home on Mountain Road in Halifax, where the three people were arrested without incident.

The male victim was also there, and had what police describe as non-life-threatening injuries.

Police say this was not a random act as the people involved know each other.

The three people charged were held overnight and are due in Dartmouth provincial court Friday.

Thirty-five-year-old Ryan Harvey Lyman and 36-year-old Nicholas Duncan McCabe face charges of forcible confinement, assault with a weapon and uttering threats.

Twenty-two-year-old Maryssa Danielle Poirier faces charges of being a party to the offences.
