A 38-year-old man faces several charges following an incident earlier this month on the Ebb & Flow First Nation.
Just after 3:30 am on April 13th, RCMP in Ste Rose were called regarding an alleged assault at a home on the reserve.
When they arrived, they heard gunshots coming from behind the home and were told that a male suspect, who was possibly intoxicated by drugs, had just left the scene.
Several branches of the RCMP, including the police dog service and the Remotely Piloted Aircraft System, tracked a suspect for about 2.5 km through bush, fields, and marshland, before finally making an arrest and seizing a loaded rifle and chambered rounds.
Travis Malcolm remains in custody, facing charges of assault, possession of a weapon for dangerous purposes, and reckless discharge of a firearm.
