A 20-year-old Whitehorse man faces multiple charges, the RCMP said today.

Mayson Reindeer was arrested by Dawson City RCMP on Sept. 27 on the charges.

He was remanded into custody, and is scheduled for his next court appearance in Whitehorse on Friday.

Reindeer has been charged with the following Criminal Code offences:

• three counts of the possession of property obtained by crime less than or equal to  $5,000, section;

• five counts of theft, forgery and the misuse of a credit card; and

• two counts of failing to comply with a release order condition.

“RCMP are still engaged in this investigation and more charges may be brought forward once all evidence has been gathered,” police said.

Sadly to say but this boy hopelessly will not change his ways no matter how much you put your all. I’ve forgave him for many unforgiving reasons but yet he still lives a upon insanity. What makes him or anyone to think or do the same things and get no the consequences and still repeatedly continue.

His friends need not worry, the Yukon Catch & Release Just-Us business will have him back on the street soon, with a severe reprimand slap-on-the-wrist for good measure. Look how well that worked the last time he was arrested for doing crimes.
It doesn't take an Einstein to realize Insanity is making the same mistake over and over and expecting different results.

@moe on Oct 19, 2022: What I would like to know is where is all the millions going to that the Liberal governments are giving to the FN to help people like this? I believe I know, but hey!

Arrested on Tuesday, in jail until Friday, and no doubt he'll be back out by the weekend on more conditions to not commit theft, forgery, or fraud. His promises this time will be worth as much as his promises last time, which is to say worth nothing.

Just throw him in jail for six months and give everyone a break. You might even get through to him. Setting him loose with no consequences didn't work, so try something else.

Show some compassion. He probably had an unhappy childhood.

Mayson is very young, it's unlikely that he will reoffend.

Or will he be in and out of our justice system forever?

Oh no! Don't tell me that this dude has a criminal history and was let go when he said he'd be a good boy? Surely, a responsible government and a responsible justice system would put public safety to the forefront of their decisions? Surely, they would not keep turning wolves loose on the sheep?

But, they do.

He will get 3 days in jail. No worries everyone!
