RCMP charges Little Harbour man for dangerous operation following dispute
Halifax District RCMP has charged a man for dangerous operation of a conveyance following a dispute on the water in Little Harbour.
On May 16, police were notified of a dispute in Little Harbour around 5 a.m. that morning. Investigation determined that the incident had occurred on the water between two vessels.

On May 25, police were notified that Mckay had breached his conditions by having contact with the man from the second vessel.
