Colewyn Terrell Montana, alleged to have stabbed a person on the 0 block of Manitoba Street East on July 8, has been released on conditions after appearing in court.

Montana, 21, appeared in Moose Jaw Provincial Court on July 13 by phone from the Regina Correctional Centre. His lawyer, Estes Fonkelsrud, told Judge Barb Tompkins that the Crown was agreeable to his client’s release.

Tompkins agreed to the accused’s release but did not institute a curfew or need for Montana to report to probation. 

Instead, his conditions include abstaining from alcohol and non-prescription drugs, not visiting a business that sells alcohol, having no contact with the three victims (one from the July 8 incident and two from an earlier assault charge), staying 15 metres away from the victims’ residence, work or school, not possessing weapons aside from a knife to eat, and keeping the peace and being of good behaviour.

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

Montana’s next court appearance is Tuesday, Aug. 9.

According to previous information from police, the stabbing incident occurred on July 8 around 10:20 p.m. Officers arrested Montana and charged him with aggravated assault and assault with a weapon.

The victim was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
