A man arrested in connection with threats involving weapons on the Sioux Valley Dakota Nation, is now wanted by police.

Last July, Virden RCMP were called to a home at Sioux Valley, where two males were allegedly threatened with a machete and a firearm.

The suspect was eventually arrested, and the firearm turned out to be a pellet gun.

41-year-old Bruce Blacksmith failed to appear in Sioux Valley Court yesterday (Wed), so a warrant was issued for his arrest.
