Two people are scheduled to appear in court today after yesterday’s disturbance at a home on the Big Island Lake Cree Nation.
Around 5:00 am yesterday, Pierceland RCMP were sent to a possible firearms complaint there.
Police say two people were arrested outside the home. Two other people wanted on outstanding warrants were believed to be still inside.
Investigators say around 1:00 pm, eight adults were arrested without incident at the residence.
Another three adults and two youths were also arrested at a second residence nearby.
In total, 15 people were taken into custody. Eight were released shortly after.
Six children, all under the age of 10, were located unharmed.
A 38-year-old man is charged with several offences stemming from previous investigations, including assault with a weapon.
A 31-year-old also faces several charges, including reckless discharge of a firearm.
Both are scheduled to appear in court in Loon Lake this afternoon.
