Greenwater RCMP say a 25-year-old man is facing multiple charges, including aggravated assault and forcible confinement, after a teenager was hospitalized last month.

Police were called to a reported stabbing on Yellow Quill First Nation on March 25.

The 16-year-old youth was taken to hospital in Kelvington and then transferred to Saskatoon with what were described as severe injuries.

As a result of the investigation, RCMP executed a search on Yellow Quill First Nation this past long weekend. Corey Mark Peequaquat, 25, was arrested without incident at a home.

He is also facing charges of unlawfully causing bodily harm, possession of weapon for a dangerous purpose, two counts of uttering threats, and three counts of failure to comply with probation order.
