LA RONGE – A woman arrested last week after being wanted for almost two months following an incident where police were shot at has been granted bail.
Celine Charles, 22, is scheduled back in court Sept. 12 to enter a plea and election on a charge of obstruction.
Charles, along with Terrance Daigneault, 29, Allan Sanderson, 36, and Nikeyta Bradfield, 24, are all charged in connection to the June 19 shooting incident that prompted the communities of La Ronge, Lac La Ronge, and Air Ronge to go into lockdown.
Daigenault allegedly shot at police officers and a police vehicle. Bullets struck the cruiser’s windshield and radiator. No RCMP officers were injured during this incident and no other injuries have been reported to police.
The Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations worked with the RCMP for a peaceful resolution to the shooting incident when police were searching for Sanderson, Daigenault and Bradfield. The FSIN pleaded with the three to turn themselves in.
Daigenault and Bradfield were arrested June 22 at a business by Saskatoon Police Guns and Gangs unit, with the assistance of the Saskatoon Police Tactical Support, K9, and patrol units, as well as help from Saskatchewan RCMP.
Sanderson was arrested July 5 after police got a public tip. They found him hiding under a blanket in the back seat of a vehicle at business on Highway 2 in La Ronge. He is charged with 19 firearms-related offences. Officers were searching for him since June 20.
Bradfield is charged with two counts of accessory after the fact to attempted murder with a firearm. Bradfield was released on bail June 27. She allegedly helped Daigenault.
