ESTEVAN — A traffic stop on April 18 resulted in a male driver being issued a seven-day driver's licence suspension, after he tested positive for THC on a roadside screening device. His vehicle was also impounded. A longer licence suspension was issued since it was the motorist's second offence.

The EPS also received a report of theft of property. Statements were provided and the property was returned to the rightful owner. No charges were laid in this occurrence.
Police responded to 61 occurrences from April 19-21, including the arrest of an Estevan woman for assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest. The woman was remanded into custody and was slated to appear in court on Monday.
