Mar 17, 2025 | 1:40 PM

Battlefords RCMP have arrested a wanted man following a standoff on Saulteaux First Nation early Monday.

Police say a vehicle fled a traffic stop around 2 a.m. and was later found at a home. Several people ran inside and initially refused to come out.

Eight eventually exited, along with a dog that got into a fight with a police dog. An officer was injured while separating them and was treated for non-life-threatening condition. Also, the K-9 member was not seriously hurt.

After further investigation, police arrested a 22-year-old man from Cando, Sask., on charges including unlawful confinement, break and enter, and assault related to a March 13 incident on Red Pheasant First Nation.

He is scheduled to appear in North Battleford Provincial Court on March 18. The rest of the arrested individuals were released without charge.
