Second suspect charged with attempted murder, kidnapping in custody

A 23-year-old man is in custody according to Williams Lake RCMP.

Staff Sgt. Del Byron said Michael Drynock was arrested Monday afternoon.

Drynock, who was considered to be armed and dangerous, was wanted in connection to an incident at the Rudy Johnson bridge on Friday, Aug. 9.

He is charged with two counts of attempted murder and two counts of kidnapping as is 25-year-old Jayson Gilbert.

RCMP have released few details but said the incident is believed to be connected to a homicide in Williams Lake on Aug. 6 that left a 43-year-old man dead.

A search of the Fraser River was suspended Thursday, Aug. 15 for Branton Regner who is still missing since the incident at the bridge.
