Accused In Stabbing Incident Released On Conditions

By Robert Thomas

The alleged perpetrator of a July 8th stabbing on the zero block of Manitoba Street East Colewyn Terral Montana has been released on conditions.

Speaking on behalf of his client, who appeared by telephone from the Regina Correctional Centre, lawyer Estes Fonkelsrud told Judge Barb Tompkins that the Crown was agreeable to Montana's release.

Montana's release is non-reporting and curfewless.

His conditions of release are:

  • abstain from alcohol and non-prescription drugs

  • no contact with the three victims (one from the July 8th incident and two from an earlier assault charge)

  • stay 15 meters away from the victims, residence, place of employment or place of schooling

  • do not possess weapons and he can only use a knife to eat at home or a restaurant

  • not being at a business whose primary business is the sale of alcohol

  • remain in good behaviour

  • there is no condition to report to probation

  • there is no curfew

Montana was told by the John Howard Society court worker to remain at the Regina Correctional Centre until a cab arrived to drive him back to Moose Jaw.

Montana's next court appearance is August 9th at Moose Jaw Provincial Court.

As with all criminal court matters the accused is considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
