A 23-year-old man from Red Earth Cree Nation is facing eight charges following two separate firearm incidents over the weekend.

Carrot River RCMP say they received multiple reports on the evening of November 7 about a man carrying a firearm on Red Earth Cree Nation.

According to police, an investigation revealed the suspect pointed a gun at another person before leaving the area on foot. No shots were fired during that confrontation. However, officers later discovered an unoccupied vehicle at a second location that had been struck by a bullet, leaving several windows damaged. No physical injuries were reported in either incident.

With assistance from Nipawin RCMP and the use of a remotely piloted aircraft system, officers searched the area and arrested a suspect at a residence later that evening.

Kieferson Head, 23, is charged with several firearms related charges.

Head is scheduled to make his court appearance in Carrot River on Thursday.
