A Moose Jaw resident will have to follow several court-imposed conditions for the next two months after he was involved in an incident at a city recreational site.
The Moose Jaw Police Service received a report recently about an adult male who had physically contacted a boy under age 12 at a municipal rec venue. The boy did not suffer any injuries and did not require any medical attention.
After investigating the man’s identity and determining the potential charges for the incident, officers issued an arrest warrant for David Coulombe Turcotte, 58, for a physical assault.
Turcotte later turned himself in to police on Sept. 1 and was released after appearing before a justice of the peace.
The conditions Turcotte must follow include attending court on Oct. 31, refraining from contacting the victim, refraining from contacting anyone under age 16 unless an adult is present who is notified of these charges, and refraining from attending any public park, skating rink, public swimming area, or any recreational area where someone under 16 is likely to be present.
Turcotte must also refrain from seeking, obtaining or continuing employment, whether or not the employment is renumerated or volunteering in any capacity that involves being in a position of trust or authority of someone under age 16.
Since this incident involves a young person, the police service says it will not release any further information about this investigation.
