A man facing numerous charges in connection to a Highway 4 vehicle pursuit south of Battleford on March 21 has died in custody.
Randall Nicotine died May 14 while on remand at Saskatoon Correctional Centre.
Nicotine was the individual who received local notoriety as the subject of a spectacular 100th Street police takedown that was captured on video April 4, 2016.
He had been scheduled to return to North Battleford provincial court May 23 by closed-circuit TV on his latest charges from March 21. Those included flight from police, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, using an imitation firearm in commission of an offence, forcible confinement, child endangerment, assaulting a police officer with a weapon and other counts.
Due to Nicotine’s passing, the Crown has withdrawn all charges.
