ESTEVAN - Members of the Estevan Police Service (EPS) apprehended impaired drivers while performing check stops on Friday.

A total 236 vehicles were checked. Two summary offence tickets were issued under the Traffic Safety Act and one 21-year-old Estevan resident was arrested and charged with impaired driving.

Also on Friday, police received a report of a break and enter in progress to a downtown business. Police attended to locate individuals in the business. They were family members of the employees so the matter was determined to be unfounded.

Officers on patrol located a vehicle with the door wide open. Police woke up the owner and it was determined nothing was missing from the vehicle. The vehicle was secured.

Police attended to a local motel Saturday to a report of an occupant and staff members not getting along. The employees wanted to check the suite and the occupant wasn’t allowing them to do so. The matter was mediated and required no further police involvement.

Members attended to a report of a disturbance and fight at a residence in south Estevan. The fight was over on arrival and no charges were warranted. The homeowner was warned under the bylaw.

Police attended to a residence where two roommates were not getting along. One was alleged to have threatened the other. The two parties were separated and criminal charges for uttering threats are being considered.
