Williams Lake RCMP has identified a second suspect in connection to an incident at the Rudy Johnson bridge on Friday, Aug. 9.

23-year-old Michael Drynock of Deep Creek has been charged with two counts of attempted murder and two counts of kidnapping.

A warrant has been issued for his arrest.

Drynock is considered dangerous,” BC RCMP Cpl. Chris Manseau said in a news release.

“If you see him, do not approach him and call the local RCMP detachment immediately.”
