A man from La Ronge has been arrested after allegedly severing fingers on three individuals in June.
On June 26, La Ronge RCMP received a report of an injured person at the local hospital. As a result of investigation, officers determined an adult male took three adults, who were known to him, to a rural location in the La Ronge detachment area.
The victims were threatened with a firearm and assaulted – including each having a finger severed.

A warrant was issued for his arrest.
Charles was also on warrant for failing to attend court, and failing to comply with a release order condition after La Ronge RCMP received a report that Charles had cut off a device monitoring his court-ordered curfew on June 20.
As a result of continued investigation, Saskatchewan RCMP’s La Ronge Crime Reduction Team (CRT) determined Charles was in a residence in La Ronge on Aug. 9. The residence was surrounded and Charles was arrested without incident. La Ronge RCMP officers assisted with the arrest.
Charles appeared in La Ronge Provincial Court on Aug. 12.
