MOOSE JAW — Sajeana Lee Nicole Hill, who is accused of lighting a home on fire with people inside, has been released from jail on strict conditions.
Hill, 29, appeared in Moose Jaw Provincial Court on Feb. 26, with Legal Aid lawyer Suzanne Lalonde acting on her behalf. Crown prosecutor Robbie Parker presented the release conditions to Judge David Chow, who read them to Hill and received confirmation from her that she would obey each clause.
Her conditions include appearing before the court when required, reporting to a bail supervisor upon release from custody, living at an approved residence and not changing that residence without written permission.
Furthermore, until she enters a detox centre, she must remain inside her residence 24 hours a day except to attend medical appointments, to enter the detox centre or unless permitted by the bail officer for other reasons.
Hill is scheduled to enter the detox centre on Friday, Feb. 28 at 11 a.m. While there, she must follow the venue’s rules and regulations, remain there 24 hours a day unless the director gives her permission to be elsewhere and complete the program.
Once she finishes her treatment and returns to her residence, she faces a daily curfew of 11 p.m. to 7 a.m., unless her bail officer, a designate, or the court gives her written permission to be elsewhere.
Furthermore, she must come to the door when her bail officer, a designate, or a police officer checks the residence to ensure she’s following her curfew order. Moreover, she must participate in programming, see a medical doctor, psychiatrist and/or psychologist, follow their directions about appointments, counselling, treatment and prescriptions, and agree to release information about her appointment times and prescriptions.
Also, she is prohibited from having contact with nine people or possessing any incendiary device.
Judge Chow then adjourned the matter to Tuesday, March 18.
, the Moose Jaw Police Service arrested Hill in connection with a Jan. 14 house fire on the 1000 block of Simcoe Street.
As a result of the follow-up investigation, the MJPS’s Criminal Investigation Section (CIS) charged Hill with one count of arson with disregard for human life. Hill was already in custody on two other unrelated arson charges.
During the Jan. 14 incident, nobody was injured in the fire, though the police service said the blaze left behind an estimated $100,000 in damages.
