A Biggar woman arrested by North Battleford RCMP gang unit pleaded guilty in North Battleford Provincial Court Feb. 8 to weapons-related offences.

Desire Hinse, 24, pleaded guilty to carrying a concealed weapon, possession of a prohibited weapon, obstruction of a peace officer, unlawful possession of a substance, driving while prohibited, and failing to comply with conditions.

Hinse was arrested Sept. 2, 2020, after Battlefords RCMP say they observed people in parked vehicles in North Battleford “interacting” with each other. They saw weapons in one of the vehicles and knew one of the individuals had an outstanding warrant.

When police searched one of the vehicles they seized weapons, a Taser, cocaine, crack cocaine, meth and marijuana.

They also arrested Matthew Greer, 34, of Biggar, and Shynia Skeavington, 24, and Rae Ahenkew, 40, both of Mosquito First Nation.

Ahenakew is scheduled to appear next in North Battleford Provincial Court on Feb. 22 to enter a plea.

Skeavington had an appearance in North Battleford Provincial Court on Feb. 10 and the matter was adjourned until March 17.

Hinse returns to North Battleford Provincial Court on March 22 for sentencing.
