An Oxbow man has been taken into custody following an incident in the town on Sunday.
Carnduff RCMP received a request at about 11:45 a.m. on Sunday morning for a welfare check for Kassidy Terry Michael Bonnor, a 25-year-old man who resides in the 700 block of Walsh Avenue in Oxbow.
An investigation revealed the individual had a warrant for failing to appear in court in Carlyle on Jan. 13. The court appearance was for one charge of theft under $5,000, stemming from an investigation in October 2015.
Investigators received information that possible explosives or firearms may be located at the residence. As a precaution, and based on the information that was received, the RCMP emergency response team, the RCMP police dog service from Yorkton and the RCMP explosives disposal unit attended to assist RCMP from Carnduff and Carlyle.
Also, people were asked to stay away from the area. Some neighbouring residents were evacuated for a few hours.
Shortly after 7:00 p.m., Bonnor was taken into police custody without incident.
He appeared in court in Estevan on Monday morning to face one count of failing to attend court.
No additional charges have been laid and no explosives or firearms were located in or outside the residence.
The RCMP thanks the people of Oxbow for their co-operation on Sunday.
