The RCMP responded to 63 files over the past week, many of which were due to erratic driving complaints on Highway 1.
Cocaine charges pending
On July 7, police arrested a man for possession of small amounts of cocaine outside of a local hotel. Charges are pending against the 42 year-old Ontario man.
Pet left in car
Also on July 7, police responded to a complaint about a pet being left in their owner’s car.
Police arrived on scene and had a discussion with the owner. RCMP are reminding pet owners that during heat waves such as this, leaving a pet in a vehicle is extremely dangerous, even if the windows are left down.
Car accidents
On July 8, RCMP responded to a two car accident near the intersection of 7th St. N and 10th Ave. N. Only minor damage was reported to the vehicles and the drivers were uninjured.
Noise complaint
Police were called to Nicholson on July 9 because of a noise complaint. A group of intoxicated individuals had been floating on the river and were making a significant amount of noise.
Police caution anyone who is out on the river to stay sober, as situations like that can quickly turn dangerous.
