Police have charged a man as they continue to investigate an alleged sexual assault and shooting in and around Pierceland, Sask.
William David Angus, 41, was taken into custody and a firearm was seized.
RCMP were called to a break and enter and sexual assault Monday afternoon at a home in the community roughly 385 kilometres northwest of Saskatoon.
While carrying out their investigation, officers determined an armed man had fled in a pickup truck.
Police believe Angus was also involved in an altercation with another driver at an intersection roughly two kilometres southwest of Pierceland.
He is accused of firing at the other vehicle before driving away.
Police said more gunshots were heard a short time later in the area.
Officers from multiple RCMP detachments, along with members of the Provincial Protection and Response Team and a local pilot, searched the area.
Angus is facing charges of breaking and entering, committing sexual assault with a firearm, sexual interference, discharging a firearm recklessly, mischief, and driving while disqualified.
The Pierceland area man is scheduled to appear in Meadow Lake provincial court on July 19.
