A 37-year-old male from the Wakaw area is facing multiple charges following an incident involving threats and assault against an adult female.

On Sunday, Oct. 14th  around 12:15 a.m, Saskatoon RCMP got a call in the Hanley area of an adult male threatening an adult female. Upon arrival, members learned the suspect had departed the scene on an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) with the victim, against her will.

The ATV was located, but the suspect refused to stop for police. No pursuit was initiated due to the potential risk to the victim.

As members continued to patrol, the victim was located walking along a rural road. She advised members that the ATV had rolled, allowing her to escape. She indicated that she believed the suspect had been injured in the collision.

Members located the ATV, but not the driver. Police Dog Section was brought in to assist and the suspect was located a short time later hiding in an empty railcar in the area. The suspect was arrested without incident and transported to the hospital for non-life threatening injuries sustained in the collision. The victim was also transported to the hospital for treatment.

The man is facing  the following charges

-        Assault Causing Bodily Harm

-        Uttering Death Threats

-        Failure to Stop for Police

-        Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle

-        2 x Breach of Probation

The accused is scheduled to appear in Provincial Court in Saskatoon at 10 a.m. on October 17th pending recovery from his injuries. 

Because this investigation is ongoing and in order to protect the identity/privacy of the victim, the RCMP is not releasing the accused’s name at this time.
