Three Richmound women are being charged with police obstruction.

“These individuals did not provide their names and dates of birth to arresting officers on request.”

The women are 72, 63 and 37 in age.
While the release doesn’t directly connect the three women with the self-proclaimed ‘Queen of Canada,’ Romana Didulo, it is part of a series of releases about arrests made to Didulo and her “Kingdom of Canada” followers who were living in a decommissioned school in Richmound.
They are scheduled to appear in court in Leader, Sask. on Nov. 20.
Didulo released on specific conditions
Romana Didulo was released from custody on Sept. 8, but she is required to abide by a number of conditions.
Didulo must remain at a specified address in Regina at all times, unless she obtains permission from her parole officer. Didulo is also not allowed to come within 50 kilometres of the Town of Richmound under any circumstances.
She is also not allowed to contact or refer online to Ricky Manz or any of the alleged victims in this case.
She is also not allowed to possess any weapons and must attempt to attain employment or education while awaiting trial.
Didulo represented herself at her bail hearing on Monday, where she is facing charges of failure to comply with an undertaking and intimidation of a justice system participant.
She has also chosen to have a trial by judge and jury at the Court of King’s Bench.
Her next court appearance was scheduled for Sept. 17, when a date for the preliminary inquiry is to be set.

Search warrant executed
Didulo was staying at the former Richmound school along with a group of followers until Sept. 3, when the RCMP executed a search warrant at the building following a complaint that someone inside was armed with a gun.
During the search, the RCMP said officers seized 13 imitation firearms, ammunition and a large number of electronic devices.
