Prince Albert Police said the man was wanted in relation to two shootings this month and was arrested on Tuesday outside of a business in the 800 block of 15th St. W. following an investigation by the Crime Reduction Time (CRT), Proactive Policing Unit (PPU), and patrol members. Officers also located three grams of methamphetamine, 32 grams of cocaine, bear spray, cash and other items consistent with drug trafficking.
The first shooting incident occurred Aug. 3 around 12:30 p.m. when police were called to the 1600 block of 17th St. W. for a report of a shooting.
