Dauphin RCMP has released more details about an attempted robbery on Saturday night at the Gilbert Plains Hotel.
Police say a woman armed with a knife entered the bar and demanded cash from the till.
Hotel owner Bernie Fillion tells CKDM he refused to hand over any money, and yelled out for help from some bystanders, at which point the suspect ran out the back door.
Once police arrived, bystanders pointed officers in the direction of the suspect, who was found nearby still in possession of the knife.
When she refused commands to drop the knife, officers used a taser to apprehend the suspect.
She was later taken to hospital for minor injuries before being released back into police custody.
41-year-old Jeananne Jubenville of Dauphin is charged with Robbery, Disguised with Intent and Possession of a Weapon for Dangerous Purpose.
She will appear in a Dauphin court on September 8.
The investigation is ongoing.
