WEYBURN — A southeast Saskatchewan man has been denied bail after his latest arrest.
Mason Wayne Strutt, age 24, had a show-cause hearing Nov. 20 in Weyburn Provincial Court. After arguments by both the Crown prosecutor and Strutt’s defence attorney, Judge Douglas Kovatch ruled Strutt would not receive bail, and Strutt was remanded into custody.
The evidence provided during the show-cause hearing, along with the arguments and the reasons for the judge’s decision, are covered by a publication ban.
Strutt was residing in Estevan at the time of his latest arrest on Nov. 15; he has been in custody since that time. He has had a number of violations since his initial arrest in Moose Jaw on a sexual assault charge last year.
His next court appearance is scheduled for Nov. 21 in Moose Jaw to speak to the sexual assault charge. His next Provincial Court appearance is slated for Dec. 8 in Estevan.
Also, a preliminary hearing is scheduled for Strutt for Jan. 13, 2026, in Regina Provincial Court on a number of charges, including uttering threats, assault, animal cruelty and causing a person to take a noxious substance, stemming from an arrest this past April in Regina, where Strutt was living at the time.
In his most recent arrest, he was charged with one count each of resisting arrest, uttering death threats and violating his release conditions. He is also charged with six counts of violating his release conditions, stemming from previous arrests, and one count of mischief.
