Dreaver was charged after police were investigating an incident where a woman was shot at while driving her vehicle in North Battleford on Dec. 13, 2022. Police had responded to four separate incidents of shots fired in a three-day span and say they may be gang related.

Dreaver also faces identify fraud and possession of stolen property charges from August 2022. Jackson has a show cause hearing scheduled in North Battleford Provincial Court on Feb. 13.
