On May 6, 2022, shortly after 3:30 p.m., members from the East Algoma Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to  a disturbance at a local cannabis dispensary within the community of Thessalon First Nation.

An individual attended the cannabis dispensary and was on conditions not to attend the property. The person left the community after the staff at the cannabis dispensary locked the door so the individual could not gain entry.
