A new court date has been set for a man who’s accused of escaping Esterhazy RCMP custody. 27-year-old Jason Mitton was in Broadview Court yesterday, and was remanded to next Wednesday. RCMP say Mitton escaped from the Esterhazy Hospital July 13th, but he was eventually located several kilometres east of the town, later that day. He faces numerous charges, including Assault, Assaulting a Peace Officer, and Attempting to Escape Lawful Custody.
