One of Saskatchewan’s most-prominent First Nations chiefs has been arrested and is now facing four criminal charges.
Onion Lake chief Wallace Fox had been the subject of an RCMP investigation ever since an assault complaint on May 18. Police said the complaint originated from a home on the First Nation.
