NORTH BATTLEFORD – A 22-year-old Moosomin First Nation man who was wanted by police on warrants was sentenced to 90 days in jail.
Andy Swiftwolfe was arrested after Battlefords RCMP got a call on June 3 that two men wanted on warrants were on Saulteaux First Nation.
Police say that they found Andy Swiftwolfe and Grant Swiftwolfe on a grid road and ordered them to stop saying they were under arrest. Officers chased the two men on foot and they arrested Grant Swiftwolfe. Andy Swiftwolfe was arrested the next day after a caller told police that he was back on Saulteaux First Nation.
Andy Swiftwolfe pleaded guilty in North Battleford Provincial Court June 30 on charges of flight from police, failing to comply with a release order, theft of $5,000, break and enter, mischief, and two counts of resisting arrest.
Grant Swiftwolfe, 27, was charged with resisting arrest. He was wanted on warrants from Battleford RCMP for possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and theft of a truck. He appears in North Battleford court again on July 6 to enter a plea.
The charges against Grant Swiftwolfe haven’t been proven in court.
