ESTEVAN — An investigation is underway into a fire that occurred in Estevan.
The Estevan Police Service and the Estevan Fire Rescue Service responded to a fire in an outbuilding in the 1300-block of Seventh Street during Monday's nightshift. The cause of the fire is being treated as suspicious at this time.
Also on Monday, the EPS received a call regarding a 32-year-old man who stated he was going to end his life. Through the investigation it was determined that the individual was located in another jurisdiction and the RCMP was able to assist to locate the man and ensure his well-being.
Police also conducted a well-being check on a 43-year-old woman who had made concerning comments to a friend. EPS members attended and spoke with the woman, who was in good health and who denied having thoughts of self-harm.
Officers were called to an apartment complex in central Estevan in response to an unknown man banging on a resident’s door. On arrival, members located a grossly intoxicated man who was unco-operative with police efforts to identify him and determine where he resided. The 22-year-old man was placed under arrest for being intoxicated in public, at which time he resisted arrest and obstructed members. He was subsequently transported to the police station and lodged in cells until sober. The man was to be released on charges of resisting arrest and obstruction.
Members also attended to a mischief at a central Estevan residence on the report of an attempted vehicle entry during the previous night. The vehicle sustained minor damage as a result, and the matter remains under investigation.
