A 44 year old Saskatoon man is in custody following a report of a disturbance that resulted in Police deploying a taser.

At approximately 11:44p.m., on Friday, Saskatoon Police received a report of a disturbance at a home in the 1700 block of 11th Street West. When officers arrived, they say they attempted to arrest a man known to police who had an outstanding warrant for his arrest for theft under $5000.
