Police in Ontario have laid two charges of attempted murder against Eric Wildman, a fugitive Manitoba homicide suspect who was caught last week in Belleville, Ont.

Wildman, 34, was arrested early in the morning of June 18, four days after a Canada-wide warrant was issued for him in connection with the disappearance of his neighbour, Clifford Joseph. 

A news release from the Ontario Provincial Police said officers were greeted with gunfire when they attempted to arrest the fugitive at a home in Belleville,175 km east of Toronto. With the help of crisis negotiators, Wildman and another individual eventually surrendered.
