A senior territorial government official in the Northwest Territories is facing a charge of assault with a weapon. Tanya McCauley, a superintendent for the territory's education, culture and employment department in the Sahtu region, was charged last month. She is accused of using a can of pop and rocks to assault a man in Norman Wells on July 9. McCauley, 51, was released after being charged and was ordered to stay at least 50 meters from the man's home and work. McCauley is scheduled to appear in court in Norman Wells on Sept. 2.
