According to information supplied by the EPS Saturday morning, police stopped a vehicle on Fourth Street near Sister Roddy Road. Police service dog (PSD) Max alerted officers to a controlled substance in the vehicle.

A further search of the vehicle has led to a 27-year-old man from Stoughton and a 19-year-old woman from Weyburn facing charged for possession of fentanyl. They will appear in court in February 2021 to answer to the charges.

As a result of a complaint from the public and consultation with Public Health, a 44-year-old man was charged Friday under the Public Health Act for refusing to wear a mask in a public place. He was issued a fine of $2,800 for the offence and will appear in court to answer to the charge.
