A man appearing in court this week in Prince Albert asked the judge if he could be returned to his unit at Saskatchewan Penitentiary.

As a result of a continuing investigation, officers also arrested a second man shortly after on Muskoday First Nation.

Nelson, who is from Saskatoon, appeared in court Monday. He is charged with flight from police, driving while prohibited, and possession of stolen property over $5,000. According to discussion heard in court, Nelson had been out on statutory release from Sask. Pen at the time of his arrest.

Nelson is scheduled to make his next court appearance on June 15.
