A man arrested after what police called a "highly volatile" gun incident in Tsawwassen has a long history with police in the Okanagan.
Tyson Cole, now of Surrey, was arrested March 31 and faces multiple charges after shots were fired from inside a Tsawwassen home.
The male suspect came out of the house carrying a loaded carbine rifle and was subdued using a Taser.
Cole was sentenced for four years in jail in 2019 for reckless discharge of a weapon, concealing a firearm, disturbing the peace and brandishing a firearm in public. With time served, he was expected to only be in jail for two years.
He was also handed a lifetime firearm prohibition.
That followed a wild chase on Kin Beach after a shooting in the early hours of the morning outside the Vernon Denny's restaurant.
The victim received treatment in hospital for a gunshot wound to the thigh.
Cole has a long history of criminal offences that range from break and enter, to attempted murder and robbery.
In 2011, he was arrested on a Canada-wide warrant in Kelowna after a confrontation on Gyro Beach.
That incident was over a stolen cellphone, but upon his arrest, Cole was also found to be the subject of a federal warrant for revocation of his parole.
He also resisted arrest in that incident.
