One person was arrested in Kimberley following an alleged firearm pointing incident on Ridgeview Rd. in Cranbrook on Wednesday (July 20) evening.
At approximately 10 p.m., police responded to a call of a male in a black Ford truck pointing a firearm at a pedestrian in the 1400 block of Ridgeview Rd.
