A 23-year-old woman was arrested and charged with assault as a result of a disturbance in a parking lot near a department store in the northeast area of the city on Feb. 26.

The daytime event resulted in the woman being charged by members of the Estevan Police Service (EPS) as a result of the incident and she was given a Feb. 28 court appearance date.

On the night of Feb. 28, members of the EPS were dispatched to a public venue in the north central area of the city in response to a report of an intoxicated man. A 19-year-old Estevan resident was seen to be in a highly intoxicated state so he was arrested and lodged in cells until sober.

That same evening, EPS members were directed to a residence in the northwest area of the city in response to a noise complaint. A 20-year-old Estevan woman was issued one warning about the noise and when she refused to lower the noise level, police charged her under the city's noise bylaw.

Later that same night, a 39-year-old Prince Albert man was seen operating a vehicle while police believed him to be impaired. He was arrested and after refusing to provide a suitable breath sample for analysis, he was lodged in cells until sober.

A 26-year-old Estevan man was also charged with being intoxicated in a public place that same night. He was released later after regaining sobriety.

On March 3, Estevan police arrested a 33-year-old man for breaching the conditions of a sentencing order. He is also now facing two charges of assault and one charge of uttering threats. The matters originate from a domestic issue. The man was to make his first court appearance on March 4.

EPS members were asked to intervene in another domestic dispute during that same daytime shift. A female was provided with some assistance as she left the residence.

A third domestic incident led to the presence of EPS members that same day. This time the issue was resolved through discussion with family members and no further action was required.
