Nipawin RCMP are investigating a weekend incident that included a report of an assault.

A victim was transported to hospital on Sunday afternoon with non-life-threatening injuries. An investigation determined the person was assaulted and forcibly confined before being able to escape and contact RCMP.

Seven people were arrested at a residence in Nipawin. A search warrant resulted in the seizure of five firearms, 305 grams of methamphetamine, drug trafficking paraphernalia and other weapons.

Twenty-four-year-old Julian Kitchener of Shoal Lake is charged with one count each assault, assault with a weapon and forcible confinement. Kitchener was also wanted on warrant by Carrot River RCMP for multiple charges, including firearms offences.

Thirty-two-year-old Wendell Greenleaf from Nipawin was arrested on warrant from Nipawin RCMP for charges including assault causing bodily harm and 37-year-old Shelinda Vallier from Cumberland House was arrested on warrant from Melfort RCMP for charges including unauthorized possession of a firearm.

The other individuals were released without charge. Contrary to the initial RCMP report, no fentanyl or pharmaceutical-type pills were seized.
