Charges have been laid against a 25-year-old La Ronge man after an armed standoff over the weekend.

On Saturday evening, officers were called out to the Fairchild Reserve to investigate a report of a man with a gun.

It was reported he had pointed the weapon at another man after an earlier altercation between the two.

The suspect holed up in a house and allegedly engaged police in a five-hour standoff.

Adrian LaFaver faces charges that include assault with a weapon, possessing a weapon for a purpose dangerous to the public and breaching his probation.

He has already made his first court appearance and is due back on Thursday.
