ESTEVAN - People charged in a number of high-profile cases in the Estevan area were back in Estevan Provincial Court this week.

Joseph Lee Dzuba is charged in connection with a vehicle-pedestrian collision south of the city in October in which a female pedestrian was struck while walking from a residence in the Sunset subdivision to Highway 47.

The pedestrian sustained what were described as serious, non-life-threatening injuries.

Dzuba is charged with one count of operating a vehicle while over .08 causing bodily harm; one count of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm; one count of operation while prohibited; and one count of criminal negligence causing bodily harm.

Dzuba’s next scheduled appearance will be Dec. 5.

Jordan Hochstein was in court on numerous charges, including some related to a brief armed stand-off that occurred in August on Eighth Street in Estevan. His next appearance will also be on Dec. 5.

The charges for the August incident include one count each of taking a hostage, resisting arrest, mischief and failing to comply with the conditions of a release order, and three counts of uttering threats to cause death. All charges are under the Criminal Code.
