A domestic dispute resulted in assault charges being laid in Weyburn last Friday. The Weyburn Police Service (WPS) responded to a local residence and upon investigation, found that a man had assaulted a woman and uttered threats of harm.
Deputy Chief with the WPS, Shane St. John, explains the matter transpired between two partners and got out of hand.
“It definitely got out of hand. The person was arrested without incident. The person is no longer in Weyburn, which will hopefully help keep the other person safe and get this resolved in a peaceful manner.”
St. John explains that a matter is considered a domestic incident based on the relationship between the people involved.
“Any kind of personal relationship, husband and wife, boyfriend and girlfriend, could just be roommates, could be siblings, could be parents and their kids. It can be a multitude of things that consist of a domestic situation.”
The man was arrested and released under conditions.
