Standoff ends peacefully

Hubert Cory Acoose, 38, of Cowessess First Nation, was charged after a close to seven-hour standoff with RCMP. Broadview RCMP deployed an Emergency Response Team and secured a perimeter around a residence on Cowessess First Nation on Nov. 27 after receiving information in the early morning hours that an armed man was holed up. That call followed an incident involving Acoose who had crashed his truck near the local golf course and was reported to be distraught and carrying a firearm. Acoose was arrested peacefully and without incident.  Acoose was charged with Careless Use of a firearm, Possession of a Weapon Dangerous to the Public Peace, Pointing a firearm, Unauthorized Possession of a firearm, Unsafe Storage of a Firearm, and Uttering Threats.
