Moncton resident Michelle Thibodeau, 21, said she saw the arrest unfold firsthand, and posted her account of events on Twitter:

He was in my backyard. I saw him arrested in front of my eyes. He is alive. Thank you #RCMPNB.—

The swat team arrived at my house and unloaded and started screaming in my backyard for him to surrender and he did. I watched it happen.—

They had him sprawled on my front lawn for some time and then loaded him into the swat vehicle. They are now checking my yard for firearms.—
