On July 10, Wakaw RCMP received word on the location of a man wanted on a number of serious charges, 26-year-old Julius Sutherland.

Officers went to a home on the One Arrow First Nation and made contact with Sutherland, while the area was secured by officers, with the assistance of Rosthern RCMP and the Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) Dog Services.

Four other adults, and four children were in the home, and two adults and all of the children left following direction from the police.

A man and woman were left in the home and refused to exit.
