The incident, said investigators, happened on Terrace View N.E. around 1:30 a.m.

Officers located the suspected driver of the white pickup truck as he entered his home. When they attempted to arrest the male, he refused to come out, police alleged. A warrant was obtained to gain entry to the residence and the man was taken into custody.

A 27-year-old Medicine Hat man is facing charges of assault with a weapon, uttering threats, dangerous driving and breach of probation.

A 19-year-old Medicine Hat man was also arrested for obstruction of a peace officer.

The incident happened just hours after a speeding car in Charlottesville, Va., drove into anti-racist demonstrators, killing a 32-year-old woman.
