Eighteen-year-old Tyson William Colomb, a.k.a. Richo Bighetty, wanted in two recent sexual assault cases in Pukatawagan and Flin Flon, was arrested around 12:30 p.m. today in Pukatawagan by local RCMP, says Sgt. Line Karpish, an RCMP "D" Division media relations spokesperson in Winnipeg.

"Pukatawagan RCMP members, acting on a tip from the public, located Tyson William Colomb at a residence in Pukatawagan. He was arrested without incident. He remains in police custody," Karpish said this afternoon.

RCMP had said Dec. 16 they thought Colomb might be residing in The Pas.

On Nov. 20, Flin Flon RCMP received a report that Colomb had committed a sexual assault. Colomb then fled to Pukatawagan, Karpish said.

On Dec. 6, Pukatawagan RCMP received a report that Colomb had committed another sexual assault.
