Police fly into Wrigley after call about gun threat

RCMP say officers flew to Wrigley on Halloween to arrest a man after being told he had brandished a gun at two people.

Those people were unharmed, police said.

Fort Simpson RCMP, a police dog unit and emergency response team found the suspect at a nearby home, RCMP said in a Monday, November 9 news release.

Orrin Moses, a 22-year-old from Wrigley who police said was already “on conditions not to go to the community,” reportedly faces 16 charges related to assault with a weapon, uttering threats, other weapons offences and failure to comply.

Moses remains in custody, police stated.

Police do not have a permanent presence in Wrigley, relying instead on road or air to reach the community in a crisis.
