RCMP investigating Salmon River Road incident

A North Okanagan man with a criminal history of violence against sex trade workers could be violating terms of his most recent sentence.

RCMP say they are investigating after an incident reported as suspicious activity on Salmon River Road last week, near where Curtis Sagmoen lives on his family’s farm.

“Our investigation determined the people associated with the vehicle were connected to the sex trade and their services were requested in the area,” said media relations officer Const. Chris Terleski. “Police are currently investigating the incident.”

Sagmoen is banned from soliciting the services of sex trade workers as part of his sentence for assault causing bodily harm on a woman who he ran into with an all-terrain-vehicle in 2017.

Vernon North Okanagan RCMP are asking anyone with information on the incident or anyone who has received a request to attend the area for sexual services, to contact them at (250) 545-7171.
