A 26-year-old man from the Clearwater River Dene Nation is facing several charges after an assault and fire.
RCMP say a 32-year-old woman was injured last night after a disturbance at a home on the reserve.
According to police, the woman was assaulted with a knife by a male acquaintance who fled the scene before the Mounties arrived.
Then early this morning, a fire was reported at the same home — but everyone was able to escape the blaze.
La Loche RCMP arrested Daniel Norman Lemaigre later in the morning.
He is due in court tomorrow to face numerous charges, including assault with a weapon, forcible confinement and arson.
