Background Dec. 23: RCMP are looking for a man who may be armed and dangerous after an incident on Island Lake First Nation.

Around noon Dec. 21, Loon Lake RCMP responded to a report of an injured adult male inside a vehicle. Police officers located the vehicle on a remote, snowy road and an injured adult male was inside.

  • 1 count, discharge a firearm with intent, section 244 of the Criminal Code
  • 1 count, being an occupant in a motor vehicle knowing a firearm is present, section 94 of the Criminal Code

A warrant has been issued for his arrest.

He is described as being 5’10 tall, 150 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes.

He has multiple tattoos on his face and neck including star tattoos around the right eye, bird tattoo on the right side of neck and the word “Loyalty“ tattooed above the left eyebrow.
