A 24 year-old Regina male is facing numerous criminal and drug possession charges after what began as a report of an armed male threatening an acquaintance.
On Thursday, October 1, 2020, at approximately 9:39 a.m., police were dispatched to an apartment on Kleisinger Crescent. Initial information indicated a male armed with a knife and gun had threatened one person and then chased a second person towards a business in the area of 9th Avenue North and Broad Street. Police saw a male matching the suspect’s description going behind a nearby mall. Another officer met him at the corner of the building and took him into custody without incident. The male was found to be in possession of a shotgun shell, a large knife, and what appeared to be fentanyl and methamphetamine. A backpack was found nearby with a firearm inside. The male was subsequently charged in connection with this incident.
