Travis Patron, who ran for the Souris-Moose Mountain seat as the leader of the Canadian Nationalist Party in October's federal election, has been charged with three criminal offences following an investigation.

Regina Police said in a release today that the 28-year-old Redvers native is charged with aggravated assault, assault causing bodily harm, and breach of probation.

The relase from the Regina Police is as follows:

On Saturday, November 2, 2019, at about 2:27 a.m., police were dispatched to the 1900 block of Victoria Avenue for a report of an assault.  The information provided indicated that two females, ages 33 and 43, had just been assaulted by a male.  At approximately 3:13 a.m. police located a male, matching the suspect description, walking westbound on Victoria Avenue.  The officers attempted to speak with him but he refused and carried on.  The victims both had visible injuries from the incident and were taken to hospital for treatment.  Further investigation indicated the females and the suspect male had been in conversation earlier in the evening.  The male offered them rides home and, when they declined, the alleged assault occurred.  Police were able to obtain the identity of the suspect and arranged for him to be interviewed.  On November 9th, the male was arrested and subsequently charged.

Patron's first court appearance was Tuesday. He was released on conditions and has his next court date set for November 25.
