Onion Lake RCMP have charged an adult male after he fled from police in Onion Lake, SK.
On March 31, 2026 at approximately 12:30 p.m., Onion Lake RCMP received a report of a disturbance outside a residence in Onion Lake.
Officers responded and determined two males approached a residence on Sesame Street. One of the males began striking the door and shouting at the occupants inside. The males did not enter the residence and later left the property; one of them was described as leaving on a dirtbike.
Shortly after, Onion Lake RCMP located a male on a dirtbike that matched the suspect’s description. Officers activated their vehicle’s emergency equipment to initiate a traffic stop. The male on the dirtbike did not stop for police. Instead, he turned down a path that was not passible by vehicle. Officers deactivated their vehicle’s emergency equipment and continued to make patrols in the area looking for the suspect.
Later that same afternoon, Onion Lake RCMP located a dirtbike abandoned in a ditch in Onion Lake. The dirtbike matched the one the male suspect was seen riding. The dirtbike was seized by police. Further investigation determined the dirtbike was previously reported as stolen from Mervin, SK.
As a result of continued investigation, on April 1 at approximately 9:30 a.m., Onion Lake RCMP arrested an adult male at a residence in Onion Lake.
26-year-old Kendall Cardinal from Onion Lake is charged with:
- two counts, fail to comply with release order condition, Section 145(5)(a), Criminal Code;
- one count, flight from peace officer, Section 320.17, Criminal Code;
- one count, resists/obstruct peace officer, Section 129(a), Criminal Code; and
- one count, possession of property obtained by crime less than $5000, Section 354(1)(a), Criminal Code.
Kendall Cardinal was also arrested on an outstanding warrant from Loon Lake RCMP.
