A convict from northern Saskatchewan has escaped federal custody in Alberta. 

Darrell Moosomin, 54, had been granted permission to attend the Samson Cree Nation powwow in Alberta while escorted by an Elder.  

RCMP said Moosomin was “able to walk away” from the scene and is now missing. 

He has no known family or friends and it’s unknown where he might be headed. He is originally from the Mosquito Lake area of Sask. 

Due to several violent offenses such as aggravated assault, forcible confinement and obstructing a police/peace officer, Moosomin is listed as a Dangerous Offender and was serving an indeterminate prison sentence.
