A 36-year-old Selkirk man is facing multiple charges after an alleged incident of intimate partner violence escalated into a dangerous confrontation with police late Wednesday night.
On March 19, 2025, at approximately 11:45 p.m., Selkirk RCMP responded to a call near a local business regarding a reported incident of intimate partner violence. Upon arrival, officers located a 39-year-old Selkirk woman who was unharmed. She informed police that a male suspect, known to her, had attempted to run her over with his vehicle while intoxicated before fleeing the scene.
