Man with 7 arrest warrants caught in Humboldt after 2-hour standoff

Nov 26, 2024 | 3:51 PM

The Crime Reduction Team and members of the Humboldt RCMP detachment arrested a man wanted in three other cities at a residence in Humboldt several days ago.

Officers learned that Clayton Fenwick, age 24, was at a home on 11 Street in Humboldt and surrounded it as a way to ensure public safety on Nov. 22.

After two hours of negotiation with the CRT, Fenwick left the building and was arrested without incident along with a woman who was at the scene. She was later released with no charges.

Fenwick had been wanted in Yorkton, Saskatoon and Moose Jaw and had seven warrants out for his arrest for failing to stop for police, stealing a vehicle, driving while prohibited and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle among others.

After searching the house on 11th Street, police seized five guns and some ammunition. A vehicle that had been reported stolen from Lake Lenore on October 10 was also found.
