ESTEVAN — The Estevan Police Service has announced several charges against a man following an incident at a residence.
According to the police report for April 7, members responded to a report of an attempted break and enter to a residence in central Estevan. The EPS said members attended and located a 48-year old Estevan man, who is known to the complainant, hiding in the backyard after the EPS said he broke a window and attempted to kick in the building's door.
The EPS said the man was arrested without incident and is believed to have been attempting to engage in a fight with the occupants.
