A Man Facing Gun Charges In Regina Was Back In Court

One of two people charged after the Regina police SWAT team was called to action on July 17th, has a new court date. It started when a male driver of a ride service webpage was hired by a man and woman, who allegedly flashed a firearm, and entered a house without paying. After the SWAT team was brought in, the suspects eventually surrendered, and the male suspect was found to have court orders from Fort Qu’Appelle and Regina, while a search of the home turned up a weapon. 27-year-old Patrick Asham, of the Pasqua First Nation, remains in custody, to appear in Regina on January 24th. The charges against his co-accused, 30-year-old Vanessa Okemaysim, of Regina, were stayed by the Crown.
