Two Arrests

Meadow Lake RCMP help arrest man for allegedly breaking into Ahtahkakoop detachment

Jul 4, 2022 | 5:00 PM

Meadow Lake RCMP assisted with two investigations over the weekend that resulted in arrests.

On Saturday, Ahtahkakoop RCMP officers responded to a reported break and enter at their local detachment.

Investigators determined a man broke into the detachment through an exterior door that morning, where he encountered the on-duty guard in the cell block, who immediately alerted detachment officers.

The suspect left the detachment on foot and was located a short time later before fleeing again.

Meadow Lake RCMP Police Dog Services were requested and quickly located the suspect. No one was injured as a result of the incident and the damages to the detachment were limited to the exterior door.

As a result, 41-year-old Russell Knife of Ahtahkakoop Cree Nation has been charged with breaking, entering, and committing to a business, theft under $5000, mischief – damage to property under $5000, and two counts of failing to comply with a release order. He appeared in Prince Albert Provincial Court Monday morning.

Meanwhile, Meadow Lake RCMP also helped Green Lake RCMP on Canada Day.

A search warrant was executed on a trailer in the community with 51-year-old Quentin Ross getting arrested. He’s since been charged with trafficking cocaine, conspiracy to traffic cocaine, possession of the proceeds of crime, and possessing a prohibited weapon.

These charges stemmed from a 2018 drug trafficking investigation in Green Lake. In addition to Meadow Lake RCMP, Police Dog Services were also utilized.

Ross appeared in Meadow Lake Provincial Court on Monday.
