It was an argument or misunderstanding that led to a pair of men being stabbed in Vernon’s downtown core Jan. 23.
And while two people were arrested in connection with the stabbings, which led to the two victims being hospitalized, no charges will be laid in the incident.
“After consultation with Crown counsel, no charges are going to be laid,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “Because of circumstances that came forth in this particular investigation, they do not believe there is a likelihood of conviction.”
Molendyk said not much further would be released in regards to the incidents, other than it involved three people and that it was either an argument or some kind of misunderstanding.
Police were called to the 2900 block of 29th Street shortly before 8 p.m. Jan. 23. Their investigation revealed that two men had been stabbed and taken to hospital.
One, man, 41, was released from hospital and subsequently arrested by police.
The other injured man, 53, spent several days in VJH recovering from his wounds. He has since been released.
A 21-year-old woman was arrested Sunday night but was released from custody on Jan. 24, along with the 41-year-old man.
A weapon was recovered at the scene but police have not revealed what it was.
