Members of the Estevan Police Service (EPS) made several arrests through traffic stops during the weekend.
Officers charged an Estevan man March 20 for failing to stop for police. He was operating an unregistered vehicle and he attempted to evade officers. The man was arrested and released with a June court date.
Early on in the evening, police responded to a two-vehicle collision on Newcombe Drive. Both vehicles had to be towed from the scene as they were not safe to drive. The driver of one vehicle was transported to St. Joseph’s Hospital for precautionary reasons.
Police conducted a traffic stop in the central area. A motorist had consumed alcohol, which resulted in a "warn" reading, and was given a three-day driver’s licence suspension for being over the provincial limit.
As a result of a complaint on March 21, members stopped a vehicle in the 500-block of Fifth Street. A 26-year-old man is now facing charges of failing to comply with a release order and assault. He was released on conditions to appear in Estevan Provincial Court in June.
Police stopped a vehicle after midnight in north Estevan. The 26-year-old female driver from Regina was charged under the Traffic Safety Act for driving while suspended. The vehicle was also seized for 30 days due to her being an unauthorized driver. The 28-year-old passenger, also from Regina, was arrested and charged for breaching conditions of his probation. He was released on an undertaking for court.
