Apr 8, 2022 | 8:00 AM

Battlefords RCMP made two arrests on March 26 related to an incident where men uttered threats and refused to leave a residence.

The call that evening reported two unwanted males in a home just outside North Battleford that not only refused to depart, but claimed to have a firearm. Members arrived and arrested the pair and did not locate a firearm, but one suspect did have ammunition.

As a result, 25-year-old Isaiah Thomas was remanded in custody on charges of uttering threats, obstruction and assault. The other accused, Lorenz Paskimin, faces identity fraud and failing to comply with a release order. Both made their first court appearances on March 28.

Other assault investigations

The detachment had more than 50 files related to assault over the past two weeks, including several with serious outcomes.
