King of Westside Outlawz denied bail

During Terrance Stonechild’s sentencing hearing in Lloydminster Provincial Court in July 2021, court heard that he was the “king of Westside Outlawz street gang.”

LLOYDMINSTER, Sask. – The 34-year-old man said to be the king of Westside Outlawz street gang has been denied bail.

Terrence Stonechild had a showcause hearing in Lloydminster Provincial Court May 29 and a warrant of committal was issued. He is back in court June 14 to enter an election.

Stonechild – who was banished from Onion Lake Cree Nation – was arrested there in December 2022 following a police chase.

Onion Lake RCMP say that they were doing patrols when they noticed a stolen truck driving in the community. They attempted a traffic stop but the truck fled. They set up a spike belt and the truck drove over it flattening its tires. The truck drove for another 2.5 kilometres before coming to a stop and six occupants were arrested. Police seized about 355 grams of methtamphetamine and a sum of cash.

Stonechild, who was living in Wetaskiwin, Alta., at the time, was charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking, possession of property over $5,000 obtained by crime, and breach of a probation order. He was under conditions after recently being released from prison. 

During Stonechild’s sentencing hearing in Lloydminster Provincial Court in July 2021, court heard that Stonechild was the “king of Westside Outlawz street gang.” Stonechild was sentenced to 412 days in prison for weapons-related offences. 

When he was arrested in December 2020, Onion Lake RCMP called for assistance from surrounding RCMP detachments, the SWAT team, police dogs and fire and rescue.

Stonechild was one of 32 people banished from Onion Lake Cree Nation as the community dealt with illegal drug and gang activity. OLCN had declared a state of emergency in January 2020 after a string of gang-related violence and drug activity.
