On September 10th, the Ste. Rose Du Lac RCMP arrested a man wanted on a Canada-wide warrant. The RCMP West District Crime Reduction Enforcement Support Team, along with Ste. Rose du Lac RCMP, attended a residence on Ebb and Flow First Nation, where 39-year-old Lewis Jordan Starr from Sandy Bay First Nation was believed to be.
Police discovered that a vehicle at the residence was stolen, and they obtained a search warrant. When they approached, Starr barricaded himself inside, and it was determined that a woman and two children were also in the residence.
The Emergency Response Team also joined the scene at this time, and after several hours, Starr was safely taken into custody. The female and two children were not physically injured. Starr remains in custody for the warrant at this time and will be facing more charges in relation to the incident on Ebb and Flow First Nation.
