A 38-year-old man will make a return appearance in court on May 23 on charges related to a bomb threat at the Dakota Dunes Casino on the Whitecap Dakota First Nation. The casino was evacuated on April 6 after the threat was received. It was re-opened two-and-a-half hours later.  According to RCMP, members of the Saskatoon detachment responded around 8:20 p.m. after a threat was made. The building was evacuated, though there were no injuries immediately reported. During their investigation, RCMP identified a suspect, and with the help of the Warman detachment, the man was located at a Saskatoon hotel and arrested without incident. He is charged with uttering threats, mischief and public mischief.
