RCMP arrest Pelican Narrows man after fleeing from police

Sep 25, 2024 | 5:00 PM

A Pelican Narrows man has been arrested following an increased police presence in the community earlier this week.

Solomon Custer was taken into custody early Wednesday morning after he fled from police while they were executing an arrest warrant a day earlier.

An investigation determined he was in a residence in Pelican Narrows. RCMP then contained the area, and with the assistance of Critical Incident Response Team officers, arrested Custer without incident.

Custer, 26, is facing multiple charges including pointing a firearm, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, resisting arrest, and assault on a police officer with a weapon.

Details of his court appearance are pending.
