A 30-year-old man has been charged with "uttering threats" in connection with an online comment referencing the Las Vegas shooting and a Saskatchewan country music event.

RCMP in Fort Qu'Appelle began investigating an anonymous complaint on Nov.1 about a comment being spread on social media about a country music event in 2018.

A 30-year-old man from the area turned himself in.

30-year-old Tyrell Eric McKay from the Ft. Qu’Appelle area has been charged with one count of uttering a threat and one count of breach of probation.

McKay has been remanded in custody and is due to appear in provincial court in Fort Qu'Appelle on Monday.
