A man who was arrested by Estevan Police Service (EPS) personnel on May 18 for causing a disturbance at a local business was discovered to have outstanding warrants levied against him from another jurisdiction.
While he was being arrested, the man became belligerent to police so he was retained in custody until he regained sobriety. He now faces charges of being intoxicated in public, uttering threats and breaching probation orders. A June court date awaits him.
On May 19, EPS members were called with regards to a man and woman who were engaged in a fracas outside a local lounge. When they arrived, they noted that the intoxicated female had cuts on her hand. Their investigation revealed that when the woman got angry she had punched a mirror on a vehicle that was parked nearby, breaking it and cutting her hand.
The woman was arrested and lodged in cells until sober and is slated to appear in court in June to answer to a charge of mischief as well as other charges.
Police also located a man who was intoxicated and seen checking out parked vehicles. He was subsequently arrested and lodged in cells until sober and the matter surrounding his activities remains under investigation.
On the night of May 20, a 22-year-old woman was arrested for impaired driving and driving while her blood-alcohol content was over .08 per cent.

She now has a July 18 court date.
