UPDATE: Braidy Vermette captured by police
Prince Albert Police confirmed Thursday morning that Braidy Vermette and Tristen Smith were arrested and taken into custody Wednesday night.
Vermette was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant following a daring ambush in Saskatchewan. Braidy Chase Vermette, 28, escaped late in the evening on March 30 while being transported to hospital for treatment of a self-inflicted arm injury.
Vermette is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Troy Napope, who has been missing since June of last year. He was being held at the Prince Albert Provincial Correctional Centre for a pending court appearance on April 4.
When Vermette was taken to the hospital for treatment by correctional officers, they were ambushed by two masked individuals – one armed with a gun and the other bear mace.
The two correctional officers were sprayed and Vermette went willingly with the two individuals in a dark-coloured SUV.
