EDMONTON -- Edmonton police say they've arrested a 24-year-old suspect after a man pointed what turned out to be a machine gun-shaped liquor bottle at an officer conducting a traffic stop Friday night.
Around 11 p.m., police say a second officer noticed a man in a nearby house pointing what looked like a long barreled gun at the officer doing the traffic stop.
More officers were called in and the home was surrounded.
Several people inside the house eventually surrendered peacefully.
Police then discovered that it wasn't a real weapon that had been pointed at the officer - it was a liquor bottle made in the shape of a gun.
Jessie Shamarchi Petrin, 24, was charged with possession of an imitation weapon dangerous to the public peace.
