On July 22, 2006, a riot occurred in the village of Grand Manan, New Brunswick, Canada. The incident of civil disorder occurred because of allegations from members of the community that Ronald Ross, who lived in the village, was dealing drugs, including crack cocaine, from his house. This led to tensions between RossRead more
and community members that peaked early in the morning of July 22, when a group of several dozen people engaged in a physical altercation with him and several of his houseguests. The disorder, which saw several gunshots fired and Ross's house being destroyed in an act of arson, resulted in several injuries and multiple arrests.
In early 2006, Ross was the subject of rumours on the island which alleged that he was selling illegal drugs from his house. Members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) investigated him but did not find evidence of drug dealing. Despite this, tensions increased and, over Canada Day weekend, a vehicle belonging to his friend Terry Irvine—who was also alleged to be involved in criminal activities—was destroyed by fire. This prompted rumours that Ross and Irvine were planning an act of retribution against the community.
On the night of July 21, about 40 people gathered in the front yard of Carter Foster, who lived across the street from Ross. At the same time, a group of less than a dozen people were at Ross's house. Shortly after midnight, the two sides confronted each other in an altercation that eventually led to a shootout and an attempted arson of Ross's house. Several hours later, Ross's house was burned down, with firefighters hindered in their firefighting efforts by some community members. Police made several arrests following the incident and eventually charged five men, including Foster, with various crimes stemming from the riot; the five were later dubbed by media as the "Grand Manan Five". Four people, including Foster, were found guilty and given sentences that did not include any jail time. Meanwhile, Ross was found guilty of a weapons possession charge and sentenced to time served for a previous stint of house arrest.
The riot received widespread media coverage, especially in Canada. On Grand Manan, the incident led to a greater awareness of the village's drug problem and prompted greater investment into activities for the local youth, including the creation of a recreation centre. Additionally, per the village's mayor, relations between the community and the RCMP, which had soured due to the village's drug problems and the police's response to the riot, improved over the following years.
