Past arrest over paintball gun at McDonald's
In 2017, Buffalo was arrested by four officers after he brandished a real-looking paintball gun at a McDonald's restaurant, causing a panic.
He was charged with possession of an imitation weapon for a dangerous purpose, carrying a concealed weapon, use of an imitation firearm during the commission of an offence, mischief, and four counts of possession of drugs.
Police had also found small quantities of crack cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin and marijuana in Buffalo's possession at the time.
Victims of sexual assault can report what happened to Calgary police by calling 403-266-1234, or 9-1-1 if they are in immediate danger.
