RCMP received reports of an altercation about 10:50 p.m. just after the Canada Day fireworks. Kelowna’s downtown was flooded with people at the time but no one was arrested at the scene.

Vaten appeared very quickly in a Kelowna courtroom via video for a fix-a-date for a bail hearing which is scheduled for May 30.
