Shelkie says RCMP investigation led officers to the Cree Drive home earlier today.

Because Braaten was considered armed and dangerous, local RCMP called in the Southeast District Emergency Response Team to help with the arrest.

Shelkie says Braaten was arrested without incident.

She notes officers will limit access to Cree Drive while they complete today’s investigative activities, and they thank surrounding residents for their cooperation.
