Feb 27, 2026 | 11:04 AM

A man on the run from police for over a month after a violent home invasion on Muskoday First Nation has been arrested.

Chance Smith, 27, appeared Friday morning at Prince Albert Provincial Court and was remanded to next Thursday for a possible bail hearing.

According to information shared by police he was arrested at a house on the reserve and had brass knuckles in his possession.

As a result of the incident on Jan. 24, two men were taken to hospital, including one with serious injuries. The victim was reportedly stabbed four times.

The police investigation determined four suspects wearing masks entered the residence. After assaulting the victims, they fled the scene in a vehicle that was later located by police with no occupants inside.

Also charged was Jordan Stonestand, who returns to court on March 3.

Stonestand and Smith have each been charged with aggravated assault, possession of weapon for a dangerous purpose, break and enter to commit an indictable offence, and disguise with intent.

Stonestand was additionally charged with several gun-related offences and has other outstanding charges from last year related to possessing a weapon and failing to appear in court.

In June, 2025, a jury found Smith not guilty of the murder of Wade Dreaver.

After the verdict, community members warned Smith would re-offend.
