The MLA for Moose Jaw Wakamow is facing assault charges.
On Tuesday, the Government Caucus Office said MLA Greg Lawrence resigned from the Saskatchewan Party caucus. While details weren’t given, the office said Lawrence’s resignation comes as an “active police investigation is occurring into historical complaints unrelated to his duties as an MLA for Moose Jaw Wakamow.”
On Wednesday, the Moose Jaw Police Service shared details of the allegations against Lawrence, who was first elected in 2011 and won’t be running in the next provincial election.
