A 21-year-old Cadotte Lake resident is in RCMP custody after being arrested on outstanding warrants.

Chaos James Daryl Ghostkeeper, is due in court Nov. 17, 2025.

On Nov. 13, while on patrol, Mounties say officers saw a vehicle associated with Ghostkeeper; noting the vehicle began driving erratically before being abandoned altogether and the driver fleeing into the forest.

RCMP Dog services were then called and tracked the suspect “some distance into the forest” before making an arrest.

On top of pre-existing warrants, seven charges were laid:

Flight from a police officer
Resisting arrest
Possession of a loaded prohibited firearm not registered
Possession of a sawed-off shotgun
Possession of a firearm with no PAL/RPAL
Possession of a prohibited firearm
Operating a motor vehicle with a firearm

Ghostkeeper is due in Peace River court Nov. 17, for charges stemming from his recent arrest, as well as seven warrants:

Flight from a police officer
Driving at an unreasonable speed
Failure to signal
Failure to obey traffic control device
Fail to have two headlights
Driving without a licence
Driving uninsured

RCMP thank Police Dog Services, saying they were “imperative” to the search.
