Edmonton police have apprehended a man who allegedly escaped from custody while attending a funeral on the Muskowekwan First Nation.
24-year-old Tristan Lee Raphael was arrested without incident at a house in the Alberta capital sometime last night.
Raphael is accused of getting away from his escorts last week while attending a family funeral on the reserve.
He had been serving time at the Saskatoon Provincial Correctional Centre.
The RCMP say Raphael will be returned to Saskatchewan in the next few days to make a court appearance on a charge of escape from lawful custody.
