When one of the parties involved in a domestic dispute left the residence for the remainder of the evening on Aug. 29, the event was deemed to be over from a police perspective, said the Estevan Police Service (EPS) in a recently released report.

The dispute had broken out in a residence in the central part of the city.

That same night, EPS members were called to another disturbance on the north side of the city. This incident remains under investigation since it is believed that some threats were issued during the course of the event.

A fight at a local lounge attracted police attention later that same night. One man was arrested and lodged in cells until sober. He was charged for being intoxicated in public.

On the night of Aug. 31, police received information that some young people were out past their assigned curfew on two separate occasions and at two separate locations. The youths were arrested and one was remanded for a court appearance in Weyburn on Aug. 4 while the other was released to the care of his mother under conditions.

A fight in the parking lot of a local lounge led to EPS intervention on Aug. 31. Two men were arrested and charged with fighting under the city's bylaw. One was taken to hospital where he received medical treatment for the cuts received from the fight.

Police were next called to intervene in a dispute involving a weapon. EPS members arrested three men and two of them were charged with assault and one was charged with assault with a weapon. One was also charged with being in possession of a controlled substance.

Two men who were wanted on warrants were arrested by city police during the past weekend. They were both charged with being in breach of court-ordered conditions and for being intoxicated in public. They were kept in cells until sober.

A report of a person running over the top of four vehicles that were parked on the street in the 1200 block of Fourth Street was checked into by police. The person in question was located, arrested and charged with mischief.

EPS members were also called upon to attend to several noisy parties during the long weekend. In each instance the party hosts and/or homeowners were warned about the city's noise bylaw.

Police also spent a lot of time responding to false security alarms throughout the city during the weekend.
