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.

They started yelling, Come out with your hands up! and they had their guns loaded, said Thibodeau.
About five minutes later, Justin surrendered himself and he said, Im done, and then they arrested him and brought him to my frontyard where they had him sprawled on the ground.
Police in Moncton said residents in the north end of the city are now free to leave their homes.
