Saskatoon Police responded to a parking lot in the 3300 block of Fairlight Drive shortly after 12:30 Saturday morning for a male waving a firearm.

Once police arrived, the suspect fled in a vehicle. After a brief evading police situation, officers lost sight of the suspect, however they were able to locate him in the 200 block of Whitecap Crescent.

Police recovered a rifle and the 27 year-old is facing multiple charges including impaired driving and careless use of a firearm.

He will see a Justice of the Peace today (sat).
