A man who is accused of escaping from the Whitespruce Provincial Training Centre near Yorkton, has appeared in court.

43-year-old Trevor Mattiuz was in Yorkton today (Tue), and was remanded in custody to August 20.

Last Tuesday, Yorkton RCMP received a report that a man had failed to return to the facility when he was required to do so.

Mattiuz was arrested the next day in Gimli, Manitoba.
