La Ronge RCMP arrest third person following shooting

Jul 5, 2022 | 5:02 PM

A third individual has been arrested in regards to a recent shooting in Far Reserve.

According to a media release, on July 5 La Ronge RCMP received information about the location of a wanted male. Officers approached a vehicle at a business along Highway 2 near Air Ronge and located the man hiding under a blanket in the back seat.

Allan Sanderson, 36, was arrested at approximately 12:45 p.m. Police also located and seized an illegally-modified loaded firearm during a subsequent search of the vehicle.

Sanderson is charged with obstruction and unauthorized possession of a firearm in a vehicle in relation to a June 19, 2022 firearms incident that prompted an emergency alert in La Ronge, Air Ronge, Lac La Ronge, and the surrounding areas. Officers have been searching for him since June 20.

Sanderson will appear in La Ronge Provincial Court on July 7 on the charges from his arrest warrant. The investigation continues into the firearm seized from the vehicle he was in.

“La Ronge RCMP is very grateful for all the assistance from the community we’ve received – from following police direction during the incident on June 19 to passing along information that has helped progress the investigation,” said La Ronge RCMP Sgt. Brent Nicol. “Our community is safer when we have this productive, collaborative relationship between residents and police.”

Terrance Daigneault and Nikeyta Bradfield were also arrested in relation to this incident on June 22. Daigneault will next appear in La Ronge Provincial Court on July 7 for 11 charges, including two counts of attempted murder. Bradfield will next appear in La Ronge Provincial Court on August 8 on two counts of accessory after the fact to attempted murder with a firearm.

La Ronge RCMP continue to look for 22-year-old Celine Charles, who was charged with one count of obstruction in relation to the same incident. Celine is described as 5’4”, 112 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. She has a rose tattoo on her left hand, a heart and flame tattoo on her left arm and “Charles” tattooed on her chest.
