100 Mile House RCMP responded to 91 complaints and calls for service during the week. Below are highlights of the week’s calls.
Domestic dispute
On July 28, 100 Mile House RCMP responded to a call on Cariboo Trail for assistance, as a female reported that her male partner had assaulted her.
The female was treated in hospital with significant injuries. The male, who has had a long list of contacts with police, was found to be on probation conditions not to have contact with the female. Police located and arrested the male without incident. He will be held in custody pending an appearance in court. RCMP are opposing this male’s release and will be requesting his detention.
Drinking driver
At 7:30 p.m. on July 24, a member of Cariboo Chilcotin Traffic services was monitoring traffic at the corner of Highway 97 and Second Street when he noticed an incident take place.
A vehicle swerved on the highway, entered the Dairy Queen parking lot and narrowly missed hitting the take out window. The vehicle was stopped by the officer.
The driver displayed symptoms of heavy liquor consumption. An approved screening device was administered at the scene and the result was a “fail.” A second test was requested and the result was also a “fail.”
The driver was issued a 90-day immediate roadside driving prohibition (IRDP) and her vehicle was towed and impounded for 30 days.
At this point, the driver became violent attempting to fight with police. She was subsequently taken into custody and housed in RCMP detachment until sober.
Unsafe driving
At 9:09 a.m. on July 24, 100 Mile RCMP responded to a collision which occurred at the Chevron Parking lot.
A male, who had parked in a “no parking zone” at the location, pulled out onto the highway without making sure that it was safe to do so. His vehicle collided with a pickup truck, which was north bound on Highway 97, causing significant damage that rendered the truck undriveable.
Fortunately, there were no injuries. Charges under the Motor Vehicle Act have been laid in relation to this incident.
Conditions breached
At 1 p.m. on July 23, 100 Mile House RCMP responded to a domestic disturbance that was reported to be occurring at a residence in 103 Mile.
Upon arrival, police located a male who had been drinking and arguing with the female who resided there. The police, who had conducted system checks, found this male was at large on conditions not to be intoxicated and he was not to be around the female.
He was arrested for breaching his conditions, and has since been charged for this offence and has been remanded in custody.
Call leads to charges
At 2:16 a.m. on July 22, a 100 Mile House resident called police to report they could see a prowler who appeared to be breaking into their neighbours vehicle.
Police responded to the scene, which resulted in the male fleeing on a bicycle. The suspect male was located shortly after this.
The apprehending officer found that this male was at large on property crime-related charges, which included curfew conditions. The male was arrested for breaching his court imposed conditions. Subsequent investigation has led to additional theft and breach charges being laid against him, which stemmed from similar incident that occurred on July 20. In this instance, the same male had been
identified breaking into a vehicle on a home owner’s surveillance camera.
The suspect has since been brought before the courts and is detained in custody pending his next court appearance on Sept. 8.
IRDP issued
At 9:40 a.m. on July 22, police received a report of a possible impaired driver in downtown 100 Mile House.
Cariboo Chilcotin Traffic Services patrolled the town for this vehicle, which was subsequently located in the Save-On-Foods parking lot. The driver was subsequently found to be impaired by alcohol and was issued a 90-day IRDP and a 30-day vehicle impoundment.
