On Jan. 1, Carrot River RCMP received a report of a disturbance on Shoal Lake Cree Nation.

The investigation has determined a series of physical altercations occurred between a group of individuals and that two men had been injured at a residence in the community.

One man was transported to hospital with what are described as non-life-threatening injuries.

The other injured man had left the residence in a vehicle. Officers located the vehicle after it left the community and provided first aid until EMS arrived. He was later transported to hospital in Saskatoon via STARS with serious injuries.

As a result of the investigation, Carrot River RCMP arrested and charged 25-year old Sonny Whitecap of Shoal Lake Cree Nation with one count of assault causing bodily harm, one count of obstructing a peace officer, one count of assault and two counts of uttering threats.
