Man facing charges after fireworks shot at protest camp

A Yorkton man is facing multiple charges after fireworks were shot at the protest camp across from the legislative building over the weekend.

Police responded to a report about a Roman candle firework being shot towards the Justice for our Stolen Children Camp around 2 a.m. Sunday.

The camp has been stationed in Wascana Park for well over 100 days.

Police said the man reportedly exited a vehicle parked at the legislative building, discharged the firework that shot multiple flammable projectiles towards the camp, and then fled in the vehicle.

There are no reports of any injuries or damage from the incident.

Brent Holland, 25, is facing a list of charges including assault with a weapon and arson with disregard for human life.

Holland will make his first appearance on these charges in provincial court on Sept. 17.
