Battlefords RCMP tried to stop a vehicle on the Mosquito Grizzly Bear’s Head Lean Man First Nation on October 6th around 1pm.

The vehicle did not stop and pulled into the driveway of a residence. It was later determined the driver had a suspended license and was on warrant status. He was arrested without incident.

There were two passengers in the vehicle—a man and a woman. The woman told police that the 45-year-old man had a disability. The man did not comply with officers’ requests for him to exit the vehicle. RCMP informed the man that he was under arrest and removed him from the back seat and placed him in handcuffs.

During the incident, the man sustained a serious injury within the meaning of The Police Act, 1990. 

The Saskatchewan Serious Incident Response Team (SIRT) will investigate the circumstances of police involvement leading to the man’s injury.
