A man who was the victim of a shooting in Meadow Lake was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

According to police, on Nov. 24 around 1:10 a.m., Meadow Lake RCMP received a report of a shooting on Third Street West.

After investigating, police determined a man was walking on the street when a black four-door car pulled up to him. An occupant of the car shot him with a gun and the car drove away. The victim was transported to hospital with injuries described as serious. Police say no further description of the vehicle or occupants is available at this time.

In a separate incident, also on Nov. 24, at about 3:10 a.m. Meadow Lake RCMP received a report of an altercation at a business in Meadow Lake.

Drug bust

On Nov. 20 at about 10 p.m., Spiritwood RCMP on patrol stopped a vehicle on Pelican Lake First Nation. Officers determined the driver did not have a license, so gave him a ticket. While investigating, police located a small amount of suspected methamphetamine and crack-cocaine in the vehicle. The occupants were then arrested.

As a result of a continued investigation, Spiritwood RCMP executed a search warrant at a home on Pelican Lake First Nation on Nov. 21. Police found and seized 87 grams of methamphetamine and trafficking paraphernalia.

As a result, Robbie Rabbitskin, 38; Shalane Whitefish, 37; and Clayton Whitehead, 45, all of Pelican Lake First Nation, are each charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking (methamphetamine). They are scheduled to appear in court in Spiritwood on Dec. 13.
