Saskatchewan's Serious Incident Response Team (SIRT) is investigating an injury sustained by a man during an RCMP arrest on Mosquito Grizzly Bear's Head Lean Man First Nation. The incident occurred around 1 p.m. on October 6th.
RCMP officers attempted to stop a vehicle, which failed to comply and entered a private driveway. The driver was found to have a suspended license and outstanding warrants, leading to their arrest without incident.
A passenger, who initially refused to exit the vehicle, was subsequently removed and arrested. While assessed by EMS and released without charge, he later required further medical attention for an injury.
SIRT was notified and is examining the details surrounding the man's injury and the RCMP's actions during the arrest.
