A report of harassment via cellphone warranted a response by police.
On Feb. 21 at 1:31 a.m., Sicamous RCMP received a report of text-messaging harassment between two local residents. With the sender of the messages being out of town, officers found there wasn’t any risk to personal safety. However, they did intervene, and the sender agreed to stop.
Sgt. Dave Dubnyk says police response to harassment reports involving cellphones and/or social media depends on the nature of the messages, noting they can cross the line when they convey a threat.
• A Sicamous resident is in custody after police received a report of threats.
The report was called in on Feb. 22 at 1:30 p.m., and the individual was arrested as a result of the investigation.
• On Feb. 17 at 10:11 p.m., police received a report of a slow moving semi-truck heading east into Sicamous. The vehicle was reported to be blocking traffic and taking up two lanes in some areas.
• On Feb. 18, at 1:50 p.m., drug information was reported to police.
• On Feb. 20, at 4:50 p.m., police responded to a report of a white cube van with Saskatchewan plates swerving onto the highway shoulder. The vehicle was located, and the drive, who was found to be sober, said at one point he was looking at his GPS and thought that’s when he was seen swerving. The driver received a warning for distracted driving.
