Grassy Narrows Man Arrested Following Stand-Off

A 23-year-old Grassy Narrows man has been arrested following a stand-off in the First Nations Community North of Kenora.
Late last week, Treaty 3 Police were called out after a 28 year old woman sustained several slash wounds.
She was taken to Lake of the Woods District Hospital for treatment.
Police say the male suspect was still inside the victim’s residence when they arrived at the scene.
A crisis negotiator and the OPP’s Northwest Emergency Response Unit were called in.
Several hours later, Barry Payash was taken into custody.
He appeared in Kenora Court on Friday on charges of aggravated assault and three counts of breach of probation.
