ESTEVAN — Estevan Police Service members dealt with various calls early in the week, including breaches of release conditions, impaired driving, collision and more.
EPS members conducted a search of a residence to confirm compliance with release order conditions on Dec. 17.

The 39-year-old man and woman were arrested and transported to EPS where they were released on charges related to the breach.
The same day, the results of blood samples obtained earlier in the year during an impaired driving investigation were received by EPS, which indicated high levels of THC and cocaine in the driver's blood. Accordingly, the 39-year-old female driver was arrested and charged for impaired driving by drug and released with a future court date to speak to the matter.
