An arrest warrant was issued for Desjarlais last June after a 16-year-old was allegedly assaulted in the Wadena area.

The RCMP took him into custody on Sunday outside a residence on the Fishing Lake reserve in east-central Saskatchewan.

Desjarlais, who is 49, is next to appear in court on May 21.
