MEADOW LAKE – A man from Ile a la Crosse facing unlawful confinement and weapons charges was denied bail.
Niles McCallum, 29, was remanded into custody after a show cause hearing in Meadow Lake Provincial Court Oct. 20.

McCallum was charged with assault with a weapon, unlawful confinement, using a firearm while committing an indictable offence of forcible confinement, pointing a firearm, possession of a firearm while prohibited, and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.
Ducharme was charged with four firearms related offences. Officers seized a modified firearm, ammunition, a machete, 10 smart phones, three tablets and a small amount of crystal methamphetamine from her. She was released in September and appears in court again Oct. 27.
McCallum appears in court Nov. 24 to speak to his matter.
The charges against McCallum and Ducharme haven’t been proven in court.
