Council retroactively slashed $1.33 million in rent owed by the Roughriders.
A 32-year-old Regina man is facing charges after an incident early Monday that ended with a police officer using his Taser.
In a media release, the Regina Police Service said officers responded to a call Monday just after midnight about a break-in at a business in the 900 block of Victoria Avenue.
Police were told the suspect caused damage to the building, and stole money and other merchandise. Staff members told police they left the building because the man was being violent.
Officers found the man nearby and verbally challenged him, but he ignored their commands. At that point, an officer deployed his Taser and the man was taken into custody.
“There were no injuries but because of his agitated and violent state the male was sedated by EMS and then transported to the hospital for observation,” the police said in their release.
The man was charged with carrying a concealed weapon, robbery, mischief under $5,000, resisting arrest, assaulting a peace officer and possession of a weapon. He was to make his first court appearance Tuesday.
