Phone Call Suspect Warned
A police investigation into one phone call received at a Dauphin church and one at the Dauphin and District Food Bank has determined nothing criminal happened.
It was alleged earlier this month that perceived threats to a church and an individual were made over the phone, in relation to their role in trying to bring Syrian refugee families to Dauphin.
RCMP have determined the calls came from Alberta.
Sergeant Bert Paquet, media relations officer with Manitoba RCMP, says the threshold for criminal charges was not met, but the suspect has been warned about inappropriate behaviour.

Call To Change Edmonton Eskimo Name From Former Player
A former Edmonton Eskimo who visited Nunavut with the Grey Cup says it's time to respect that the team's name is considered offensive to Canada's aboriginal peoples.
Andre Talbot was part of the 100th anniversary tour of the Grey Cup in 2012 that stopped in Iqaluit, and he spoke with the community's youth and even played touch football with them.
He called it a huge wakeup for someone who hasn't been around aboriginal communities that much, noting their concerns are sometimes forgotten by other Canadians.
He says changing the Eskimos team name would be a small, but positive gesture.
