Arrest made in fatal hit-and-run investigation

Clairmont RCMP have made an arrest in an investigation dating back to April.

RCMP say at 3:15 a.m. on April 7, Mounties were called to Highway 43 near Range Road 55, where a 56-year-old Alexis Nakota Sioux Nation resident, Brock Potts, was struck by a semi and pronounced dead at the scene.

When the investigation first began, officers said “the man had been struck and killed by a vehicle, possibly a semi, which did not remain at the scene.”

As a result, what RCMP called ” a co-aligning criminal investigation” began, and an arrest was made.
