ESTEVAN - Members of the Estevan Police Service were kept busy on Friday. 

Police received complaints about a male standing in the middle of Fourth Street, disrupting traffic and not moving for vehicles. Officers attended and arrested a 36-year-old man from Manitoba for public intoxication. He was lodged in cells and will be released when sober.

Officers were called to a report of a possible impaired driver leaving a local business. When members located the vehicle and conducted a traffic stop, the driver was not showing any signs of impairment.

Police received a report of a fraud in which the victim sent money to hold an item on a local garage sale site. When the money was sent, the item was taken off of the site and contact was lost with the seller. The EPS cautions the public with sending money prior to receiving or picking up the product, as it might be a scam.

Members arrested an 18-year-old male for failing to comply with his probation order. He was lodged in cells and will be released in front of a judge with further conditions.

Officers conducted a curfew check on a 29-year-old man on a conditional sentence order. He was found to be in non-compliance, was arrested and will be held in custody to be taken before a judge.
