A 41-year-old Regina man is facing multiple charges after he was arrested by Estevan Police Service (EPS) members Saturday.
Police received a report of a suspicious vehicle in the Pleasantdale area. Officers attended and located the vehicle. The man was arrested and charged for impaired driving, possession of a stolen motor vehicle and breaching his previous release conditions.
He is scheduled to appear in court in Estevan in March.
Police received a Report Impaired Drivers call in the east end of the city. Officers attended and located the vehicle parked. The vehicle was observed by the public being driven again later, and prior to police being able to perform a traffic stop, the vehicle was parked again. The driver wasn’t located and matter is still under investigation.
The EPS and Estevan Fire Rescue Service attended to a two-vehicle collision at the corner of 13th Avenue and Sixth Street on Friday. A passenger car had its front end damaged by a semi-trailer unit while making a right hand turn onto 13th Avenue. No injuries were reported and both vehicles were drivable. Police are still investigating the incident.
Police issued an 18-year-old Estevan man a ticket under the Cannabis Control Act for possessing, consuming or distributing cannabis in a vehicle. He received a $360 fine, his driver’s licence was suspended for 72 hours and his vehicle was seized.
Members received an RID call that resulted in an Estevan female being arrested for being in care and control of a vehicle while impaired. She was released later in the evening to appear in Estevan Provincial Court in February. Her vehicle was also impounded and driver’s licence was suspended. She has also been charged with possession of fentanyl under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.
Members of the EPS responded to an assault that occurred at a south Estevan residence on Dec. 3. The victim received minor injuries and was assessed by Estevan Emergency Medical Services on scene. Further investigation revealed that two individuals forced their way into the home and assaulted a male before fleeing on foot. One individual was identified and arrested a short time later. He was released before a justice of the peace on Dec. 4. The matter is still under investigation.
