Police called to settle birthday dispute between siblings
On January 22 at 12:22 a.m., Trail and Greater District RCMP received a complaint from a 48-year-old Trail woman who reported that she was unhappy with how her 40-year-old brother was treating her on her birthday.
Front line officers responded to the woman’s residence and discovered that the pair had been consuming alcohol. Although police were able to determine that the siblings had gone to a local steak house restaurant to celebrate, it wasn’t clear what exactly led to officers being called.
Nonetheless, front line officers managed to resolve the matter between the siblings, who shook hands and agreed to reconcile.
RCMP encouraged the man and woman to only contact police for assistance in the future with true emergencies.

On January 23 at 7:41 p.m., RCMP received a request to check on the well-being of a 30-year-old Trail man at a residence located in the 1700-block of Fourth Avenue in Trail, BC.
A front line RCMP officer attended the residence and located the man, unconscious on the floor of the residence and in apparent medical distress.
The police officer was able to revive the man who allegedly admitted to consuming fentanyl before this medical episode. The man was transported by BC Emergency Health Services to hospital for a medical assessment.

Police respond to disturbance inside home
