A serious incident led local police to charge a man Friday with assault, sexual assault, forcible confinement and drug trafficking charges.

"Probably around 3-3:30 in the morning police here did deal with a female that came forward with the sexual assault," explained Sargeant Hughie Gilchrist with the Weyburn Police Service. "Further investigation led to the arrest of a 27-year-old male."

The man was arrested at 8 a.m. Friday at a motel in Weyburn.

Gilcrest would not comment on whether or not the man was from Weyburn. Also, police will not release any names to protect the victim.

The suspect will be in Estevan Provincial Court Monday to face the charges. The incident is still under investigation and Gilcrest said more charges could be laid.
