Dec 18, 2017 | 1:44 PM

Dillon RCMP have arrested the man allegedly responsible for a near-fatal incident in the northern community. 

Dakota Scott Montgrand, 23, has been charged with a litany of offences including attempted murder, assault with a weapon, and uttering death threats.

He remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in La Loche Provincial Court via CCTV today.

Last Friday, RCMP in Dillon were searching for a suspect responsible for shooting a man. While police called it an isolated incident, social media posts from members of the Buffalo River Dene Nation council, asked residents to lock their doors and avoid going outside.
