On November 7, 2026, at 3:28 p.m., The Pas RCMP received a report of a male outside a residence on Settee Avenue with a jerry can.
Officers attended immediately arriving to find a male suspect being held on the ground by bystanders.
The suspect was arrested, and as he was escorted to the police cruiser, became increasingly uncooperative with officers.
After arriving at the detachment, the male continually refused to exit the vehicle and resisted when police had to physically remove him.
Jordan Bignell, 27, was charged with the following:
- Arson – disregard for human life;
- Resist/obstruct peace officer; and
- Assault on police officer
He was remanded until his court date.
