ESTEVAN — Estevan Police Service members arrested an Estevan man on a King’s Bench warrant of arrest from the family law division on Nov. 28. 

The individual was held in custody to appear before the justice of Court of King’s Bench later on in the day and was subsequently released and ordered to personally appear later in December.

Police also conducted a welfare check on an Estevan man in the Pleasantdale area of the city. Members spoke to the individual at length and counseled him to make contact with services available in Estevan.

On Nov. 27, police attended to a noise bylaw complaint in a north end apartment complex. The resident had outstanding warrants of arrest. He was arrested and later released from custody to appear in court at a later date.

EPS members then returned to the same north end apartment complex to a second disturbance complaint. The individual spoken to earlier was again warned.

EPS also received a driving complaint in relation to a teenager drifting his white SUV in the Pleasantdale area. Members were unable to locate the vehicle at the time, but the matter is still under investigation.

“If any witnesses observed the behaviour they are asked to contact the police,” EPS said in a news release.

The same day, police received a complaint of a vehicle failing to stop for a school bus with the flashing lights operational and stop arm out. The matter is still under investigation. 

“Police remind the public to be conscious of school buses making frequent stops and to abide the duty to stop no matter if you are following or approaching the school bus from the front. Vehicles are required to stop from either direction,” EPS reminded.
