On Nov. 15 Lloydminster General Investigation Section (GIS) members observed a male who was wanted on a Canada Wide Warrant for Unlawfully at Large, entering a residence in the 4300 block of 32 Street in Lloydminster. Lloydminster GIS members, Lloydminster Police Dog Services, Lloydminster RCMP, as well as assistance from Kitscoty RCMP secured the residence.
RCMP evacuated several homes within the area as it was believed that a person may have a firearm. Several people exited the residence and were taken into custody, but one male remained inside and refused to exit. Several hours later, the remaining male exited the residence and was taken into custody without incident.
As a result of the investigation, 25-year-old Lloydminster resident, Michael Patrick Hill was arrested on his outstanding warrant. During a search of Hill, Lloydminster GIS located over an ounce of cocaine and an ounce of methamphetamine and additional evidence of drug trafficking. Hill has subsequently charged with Trafficking in a Controlled Substance.
A Judicial Interim Release hearing was held were Hill was remanded by a Justice of the Peace and is to appear at the Saskatchewan Provincial Court in Lloydminster on Nov. 21.
Lloydminster RCMP thanks the public for their cooperation during this incident.
