Battlefords RCMP arrested a male and laid multiple charges after firearms incidents on Red Pheasant Cree Nation. 

On February 14, 2026, at approximately 6:30 p.m., Battlefords RCMP responded to a call that an armed adult male had been in an altercation with a security guard on Red Pheasant Cree Nation and fled by vehicle. Officers attended and began searching for the male and the vehicle. 

At approximately 7:10 p.m., officers received a report that a male on a snowmobile had shot at a residence on Red Pheasant Cree Nation. Officers responded immediately. They located a male with a firearm on a snowmobile and initiated a traffic stop. The male failed to stop, discarded the firearm and attempted to flee on the snowmobile. He was arrested at the scene.
