Clearwater RCMP has responded to several different erratic driving complaints over the last week, which is not surprising, given the season that we are in.
Several complaints were received regarding different tractor trailer units attempting to pass unsafely and forcing other motorists off the road to avoid from being hurt or injured.
One complaint was received regarding a black motorcycle travelling at a high rate of speed and passing unsafely. Police located this individual at a local gas station and gave him a written warning about his driving behavior.
Loud parties
Clearwater RCMP has been received numerous noise complaints over the past month of large parties going on at late hours with high levels of music.
Most complaints are from people attempting to fall asleep, but can’t due to the loud music and voices.
Clearwater RCMP remind the public to respect your neighbors as well as the people around you and take consideration of those trying to rest.
Since Clearwater does not have a noise bylaw to deal with these complaints, police have to go forth with charges of mischief from the Criminal Code of Canada.
Disturbance at the campground
On Saturday, July 19, Clearwater RCMP received a report of an assault at a campground in Clearwater.
Police attended and spoke with a female camper, who advised that she was assaulted by two males at a nearby camp site.
Police investigated further and discovered that no assault had taken place.
The males at the neighboring camp site were inappropriately loud; however the situation escalated when the female camper started recording the males and shove her iPad into their faces, questioning them.
Police advised the males to go home for the evening.
