Ashton McDonald of the O-Chi-Chak-Ko-Sipi First Nation is facing a slew of charges after shooting a gun at a home on the First Nation.
On Saturday, the RCMP responded to shots being fired at a home in the community, where the residents of the house were shot at. McDonald fled before officers arrived. Officers from Winnipegosis and Dauphin RCMP began the search with the assistance of a police dog and a drone.
McDonald was spotted lying in a field behind the residence and was arrested while trying to hide under the back stairs outside. Police dog Marook found the gun, and it was seized.
McDonald faces five charges, including pointing a firearm and mischief under $5,000.
He remains in custody and will be in court at a later date.
