Patrick Crawford now facing charges in south Edmonton standoff

46-year old Patrick Crawford is facing multiple charges after a 16-hour standoff ended in Edmonton on the afternoon of Monday, June 18.

On Sunday, June 17, police were called to the home in Riverbend in response to a domestic dispute call at about 7 p.m.

When he was arrested, Crawford was unharmed and fully co-operative with arresting officers.  He was taken by EMS to hospital as a precaution.

Patrick Crawford has been charged with uttering threats, pointing a firearm, two counts of unauthorized possession of a fire arm, unauthorized possession of a weapon dangerous to the public and careless use/storage of a firearm.
