A twenty-year-old man who was allegedly involved in a double stabbing at the District Public House turned himself in to RCMP Monday.

A suspect in the Sept. 29 double-stabbing at the District Public House Pub has turned himself into police.

Twenty-year-old Dustin Russell came forward Monday, and has since been charged with aggravated assault, assault with a weapon and assault causing bodily harm. He has been released from custody pending an Oct. 22 court appearance.

"This is a great conclusion to the investigation by the Serious Crime Section," said RCMP Cst. Cynthia Kershaw. "Investigators are thankful the alleged suspect did the right thing by turning himself in."
