A 37-year-old woman pleaded guilty to shooting at an Onion Lake RCMP officer during a high-speed chase on New Year’s Day. Glynnis Chief appeared in Lloydminster Provincial Court by CCTV from Pine. . .
Chief and four others (Twaine Derek Buffalo-Naistus, Danny Lee Weeseekase, Tyler Ryan Wolfe, and Melissa Lee McAlpine) were arrested after allegedly shooting at the RCMP during a pursuit on Onion Lake Cree Nation Jan. 1, 2021. Chief is charged with discharging a firearm with intent to endanger life, being an occupant of a vehicle knowing there was a firearm, careless use of a firearm, possession of a firearm without a license, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, possession of a prohibited weapon, and assault of a police officer with a weapon. Holm said he expects there to be 14 witnesses. North Battleford legal aid lawyer Cameron Schmunk represents Chief.
“There’s quite a bit of moving parts,” he said adding there will be 14 witnesses. Holm said the Crown is proceeding by way of indictment, the more serious offence. He also said the Crown continues to be opposed to Chief’s release. Chief and four others were arrested Jan. 1, 2021, after allegedly shooting at the RCMP pursuing them on Onion Lake Cree Nation. RCMP were pursuing an SUV on Chief Taylor Road when one of the occupants allegedly pointed a rifle out a window and started shooting at the police. Police continued to pursue the SUV, which eventually stopped in front of the high school on Onion Lake. The driver, Tyler Ryan Wolfe, 35, and a front passenger got out of the SUV and fled. Police soon found Wolfe hiding inside a garbage bin and the passenger was found in a nearby baseball field. Chief, Twaine Derek Buffalo-Naistus, 39, Danny Lee Weeseekase, 38, and Melissa Lee McAlpine, 32, were arrested and charged with numerous offences.
