A man charged with attempted murder made another appearance in Moose Jaw Provincial Court on Thursday.

Owen Kretsch appeared by video from remand Thursday morning, with Legal Aid lawyer Suzanne Lalonde appearing on his behalf.

Lalonde requested an adjournment until July 13, saying Kretsch's residence has been confirmed but additional time is needed to secure an electronic monitoring GPS unit.

Crown prosecutor Monique Paquin consented to the adjournment.

Kretsch is scheduled to return to Moose Jaw Provincial Court on July 13 at 9:30 a.m. for his bail hearing.

Charges stem from June 17 incident

The attempted murder charge stems from an incident on June 17, when Kretsch allegedly struck another individual with a vehicle following a dispute.

Police have said the two individuals were known to each other.

Although the victim did not suffer physical injuries and chose not to pursue charges, the Moose Jaw Police Service and Crown prosecutors proceeded with their own review of the case.

Following that investigation, charges were laid against Kretsch.

Kretsch is facing the following charges:

  • Attempted murder
  • Dangerous operation of a conveyance
  • Assaulting a peace officer
  • Assault
  • Uttering threats
  • Mischief over $5,000
