Stand-OFF

A 42 year old man in montreal was arrested after 6 hours of having a standoff in the town of dorval. Afterwards, they found a woman in the streat with some injuries that had to be taken care of by a hospital. The 42 yearold guy in the house had a crossbow and was charged with armed assault. There was actually a 2nd guy in the house with the 42 yearold; he tried to convince the police officers that he was being held hostage but they didn't believe him.

Really, the police should have believed the guy being "held hostage". He didn't have any weapons, he couldn't say anything or do anything. He didn't even try to attack the woman. He should have put a court case trying to prove that. Because what if they find out that he is actually innocent like 10 years later? He would have just served 10 years of innocence!
So it's better to keep him innocent now and find out the truth later, then to imprison him now and find out the truth later.
