The Weyburn Police Service received 57 calls for service during the period of Nov. 23 to 30, with only 11 charges being laid during the week. Of the 11 charges, four were traffic violations, five were failing to comply with a court order, one was for possession of a controlled substance, and one was for possession of property obtained by crime.
A Monday afternoon parking complaint turned into much more as the individual in charge of the vehicle was found to have an outstanding warrant for their arrest. Officers arrested the adult male who was also found to be in possession of a controlled substance, of property obtained by crime, and breaching his probation order. The male was charged and released with an upcoming court date.
Tuesday consisted of a wide variety of calls including a well-being check, domestic dispute, harassing communications, erratic driving, theft from a business, and two individuals charged with failing to appear in court as required. Several teenagers also reported an encounter with an irate motorist who exited his vehicle and physically assaulted one of the teenagers. This matter is currently under investigation.
Officers responded to a resident reporting an individual rummaging through items in their backyard. The individual left prior to police arrival but the resident knew the identity of the person and advised the officers. The individual is not considered to be a threat to the public, but the matter will be followed up and the individual dealt with accordingly.
All officers on duty responded to an urgent request to assist medical personnel with an irate individual at a local health facility. The situation was resolved but officers were called back to assist again a short time later. No charges resulted.
A suspicious person in a dimly lit parking lot was reported on Friday evening. Officers attended, located the suspicious male, and confirmed his identity. No further investigation required.
The weekend was relatively quiet but officers still dealt with a variety of calls, which included assisting EMS personnel with a medical emergency, assisting the RCMP with an erratic driver complaint, and assisting the Fire Department by reporting a fire spotted during patrol. Officers also dealt with a domestic dispute and transported an injured animal to the Humane Society.
