Weapons arrests

Shooting incident results in arrest, search for second suspect

Aug 23, 2022 | 9:00 AM

A man from Saskatoon was arrested for firearm and assault charges, following a shooting incident last week.

Very early in the morning on Aug. 17, Cut Knife RCMP were called to assist EMS with a man who was injured from a gunshot wound while in his home. Officers found a 65-year-old victim being treated, who was then transported to North Battleford for non-life threatening injuries.

Further investigation determined two men attended the residence looking for gas, entered the house and discharged a firearm at the victim before leaving in an unidentified vehicle.

Officers, with assistance from North Battleford General Investigative Services, Unity RCMP and community members, identified 23-year-old Dryden Bugler as the suspect responsible for firing the weapon. He was located at a residence in Little Pine First Nation on Saturday and charged with aggravated assault and discharging a firearm with intent.

Bugler appeared in court Monday. There are ongoing efforts from Cut Knife RCMP and other detachments to locate the other male involved in the incident.
