ESTEVAN — Estevan Police Service dealt with noise complaints caused by the same individual on Thursday.

Police attended to a loud stereo complaint in a north-end apartment building on Jan. 18.  A 31-year-old Estevan female was initially warned under the bylaw.

Just over an hour later, police were called back to the same north-end apartment building. The same person was charged under the noise bylaw and given a $250 fine.

About 30 minutes later police were called back to the same north-end apartment building. The same 31-year-old Estevan female was charged under the noise bylaw and given a $500 fine.

Police remained on scene and witnessed the female come out of her apartment and start making noise in the hallway disrupting tenants again. Police warned her about her behaviour and told her to remain in her suite and keep quiet. She refused and was subsequently arrested for causing a disturbance and public intoxication. She was brought to the police station and lodged for the night. She was supposed to be released in the morning once sober and more responsible, says the EPS press release.

The same day, police also received a request to do a well-being check. A family member was unable to get in touch with their elderly relative in Estevan. Police attended and confirmed the 77-year-old Estevan female was okay and would contact their family to let them know.
