Police are looking for a man who pointed a firearm at officers in Pelican Narrows.

The incident happened on Saturday, when Saskatchewan RCMP Crime Reduction Teams (CRT) from Meadow Lake and La Ronge were attempting to arrest a man at a home in Pelican Narrows.

During the execution of the arrest warrant, the man left the house and stood on a covered deck, and he pointed a gun at officers multiple times. The suspect then took off into a nearby forested area.

Officers weren’t able to find him, despite the use of their Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS).

A warrant has been issued for the arrest of 26-year-old Solomon Custer of Pelican Narrows.
