SASKATOON – A man accused of calling in a bomb threat to a Saskatoon-area casino has had an uttering threat charge stayed by the Crown. Mounties were called to Dakota Dunes Casino on the evening of April 6, 2013 after the reported threat.
The casino was evacuated and a search failed to turn up any explosive device.

Cameron Jolibois was later arrested at a Saskatoon hotel and charged with uttering threats and mischief.
The Crown stayed the charges prior to the start of Jolibois’ trial Wednesday in Saskatoon. A prosecutor did not reveal the reasons for the decision.
The stay means the charges against the 40-year-old La Loche resident could be re-instated within a year.
Investigators alleged the call was traced to a cellphone belonging to Jolibois, who pleaded guilty to lesser charges of failing to attend court and providing a breath sample.
One count of causing a disturbance was withdrawn.
