SASKATOON – A 36-year-old man arrested in a high-risk take-down in December failed to appear in court and a bench warrant to hold was issued.

Aaron Krushelniski didn't appear in Saskatoon Provincial Court as scheduled on Jan. 26. If he fails to appear in court Feb. 10 the judge may choose to activate the warrant.

Krushelniski was charged with 11 firearms-related offences, possession for the purpose of trafficking cocaine, and possession of the proceeds of crime.

The charges against Krushelniski haven’t been proven in court.
