SASKATOON – Just weeks after a first-degree murder charge was dropped against him, Levi McAdam was arrested for carrying a concealed, prohibited, sawed-off rifle in Saskatoon. He was charged with six weapons-related offences. At the time he was also under a court ordered ban against possessing weapons.

Court documents show that McAdam, now 23, was arrested last month. He is back in custody and had an appearance in Saskatoon Provincial Court July 6.

In May, a first-degree murder charge had been stayed against McAdam and his two co-accused, Richard Cross, and Ashley Payton Reed Smoke. The three were charged last year with the shooting death of Tyler Morin in a home in the 200 block of Ave. V Â鶹´«Ã½AV in Saskatoon on Nov. 10, 2017. Morin died in hospital the next day.

On the first-degree murder charge, McAdam had been arrested in May 2022 at the Saskatchewan Penitentiary where he was serving a sentence for dangerous driving.

When the Crown stays charges, they put the charges on hold. This means the charges can still be "brought back to life," within one year and the person could be prosecuted again on those same charges. But this rarely happens.
