Two young adult males from the Makwa Sahgaiehcan First Nation were arrested in the wee hours of last Thursday morning after they blew through an attempted traffic stop and eventually apprehended.

According to a Saskatchewan RCMP news release, 24-year-old Bradi Mitsuing and 23-year-old Keeton Partridge fled from a traffic stop attempted by a Loon Lake RCMP patrol officer at about 12:20 a.m. on March 19 in Loon Lake. The vehicle headed south on Highway #26, stopping shortly thereafter on Makwa Sahgaiehcan First Nation. That’s where police caught up to them and arrested the driver who was observed to be impaired. The passenger in the vehicle was also arrested following further investigation which turned up a small quantity of methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia, a loaded firearm magazine, a can of bear mace and two firearms (pictured). A list of charges for Mitsuing and Partridge follows at the end of this story.
