Mission RCMP have released the name of the suspect from a lengthy standoff this past weekend.
34 yr old James Allison has been slapped with a number of charges. On Friday afternoon, a man walked into the Scotiabank downtown and demanded money, claiming he had a bomb. After being spotted by police later that night, it led to a break in and a hostage taking. The standoff lasted almost 8 hours, but everyone made it out OK.
Allison has a long criminal record, and is believed to be responsible for a recent robbery in Abbotsford.
