Report from the Weyburn Police Service for the week of August 22 to 28:
During the past week police members attended 95 calls for service. Many were alcohol related, there were assault and firearm related complaints attended. Police members also attended several alarm calls this past week, along with receiving several erratic driving complaints.
* On August 28, police were called to a domestic dispute in the city. The matter was resolved without further incident.
* On August 27, the Weyburn Police Service attended to a residence to speak with a male subject regarding erratic and threatening behaviour. As an officer was speaking to the subject, he brandished what appeared to be a high powered rifle. The subject had earlier intimated that he wished to die by 'suicide by police'. The officer quickly withdrew from the situation. The residence and perimeter were secured with the assistance of the Weyburn, Milestone, Fillmore, Avonlea and Regina RCMP. The Regina RCMP Emergency Response Team (ERT) was activated. Prior to ERT arriving, the subject called the Weyburn Police and after speaking with a Weyburn Police crisis negotiator agreed to turn himself in. He was arrested without further incident. A 29 year-old local male is currently in custody facing a charge of Possession of a Weapon Dangerous to the Public Peace. The investigation is ongoing and additional charges could be laid. Due to the semi-isolated location of the residence no neighbouring houses or people were in immediate danger.
