Missing teenagers, stolen trucks, impaired drivers, a skateboarding accident, and the usual assortment of fights were all items on the Estevan Police Service (EPS) call sheets in the past seven days.
One person who had been involved in a bar battle informed police he wasn't about to lay charges against his fellow combatant because, he quite frankly admitted, he deserved the beating he apparently took. That allowed EPS members to at least clear that item from their investigation list.
The policing activity reports began with a Sept. 14 call regarding a truck that had been stolen shortly after midnight on Sept. 13.

A short time later EPS members received a call that a truck matching the description of the stolen vehicle had been seen in a ditch two miles west of Carnduff. The licence plate numbers matched and members of the Carnduff detachment of the RCMP were dispatched to the scene to help recover the vehicle.
This incident remains under investigation.
While out on patrol, members of the EPS broke up what appeared to be the start of a fight outside a local lounge. One of the combatants was sent home with his parents after receiving a few stitches in the head and suffering from a headache.
On Sept. 18, police and emergency medical personnel were dispatched to the local skate park after they received a call regarding an unconscious male.

Another call on Sept. 18, came from a local restaurant where the caller reported that a fight was in progress in the parking lot.

Another call on Sept. 18 involved a car 小蓝视频 egged by vandals. This matter remains under investigation.
That same night, police charged a man for impaired driving and driving while his blood-alcohol level was over .08 per cent. He was also charged for dangerous driving.
Reports gathered by the police indicated the driver had turned left off King Street on to 13th Avenue, heading south. He accelerated hard, causing him to lose control of the vehicle which then fishtailed before going over the boulevard and striking a floral planter as well as a pedestrian with a number of other pedestrians having to scramble to avoid injury.
The person who was struck by the vehicle escaped with only minor elbow injuries while the driver was taken into custody by police and charged.
On Sept. 18, police were called to a local lounge in response to a call about a fight in progress. One of the combatants had left the scene while the second was located by police.

On Sept. 19, police were called to attend a local residence to help remove an unwanted guest. The person had departed prior to police arrival.
