RCMP Report: Impaired driving, assault arrests

Assaults

Among the 538 calls from the past week of service for the detachment was 16 assault investigations, which resulted in a few arrests.

Police responded to a report of an intoxicated male causing a disturbance on the 600 block of 104^th Street the morning of May 11. The accused was located and became combative during the arrest before being taken into custody. Tremblay said he head-butted an officer in the chest while being taken into the vehicle.

The 21-year-old male is charged with resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer and will appear in Provincial Court on June 20.

Another report came from the 1100 block of 101^st Street on Monday. The victim was punched in the abdomen by the accused, who was already on conditions of no contact due to a previous assault against the victim. The accused was located a short time later and arrested without incident.

“No one was seriously injured and this was part of an ongoing issue between the two,” Tremblay said.

The accused, 32-year-old Natasha Favel, is charged with assault and failing to comply with an undertaking. She has been held in custody and made her first appearance in court on Tuesday.

Lastly, charges are pending against a 43-year-old male following an incident on the 1200 block of 102^nd Street on May 13. He reportedly became upset while at a business and threw a bottle of hand sanitizer at the victim before exiting the business and breaking two windows with rocks. He is from the North Battleford area.

Thefts

Break and enters continue to occur in the Battlefords, with several occurring in the city this week. Tremblay said the detachment is continuing to monitor each incident in case direct patterns.

“We’ve had B-and-E’s to several garages and sheds,” he said. “Seems to be a handful every week.”

“Whether it’s the same people or not is difficult to say.”

Calls include:

An active incident on the 1400 block of 100^th Street Sunday morning, where an unknown 37-year-old male fled on foot. Police were able to set up containment of the area and the accused was located and arrested. The accused faces charges of resisting arrest, break and enter and possession of break and enter instruments.
Two men were arrested on Monday, when they were found in vacant home on the 1100 block of 98^th Street. The pair, a 27-year-old and a 42-year-old, are charged with breaking and entering and have a court date in June.
A residence on the Saulteaux First Nation was reportedly broken into on May 12. Electronics and personal items were taken with damage to a door and windows also reported.
A lawnmower was stolen from a shed on the 1300 block of 99^th Street over the weekend.
Bicycles, clothing, exercise equipment were among property reported taken from a garage on the 1600 block of 98^th Street between Saturday and Monday.
A red 1997 Chevrolet C/R 2500 crew cab (Sask License 893-MGQ) was reported stolen from Highway 4 near the Battle River Bridge on May 12.

Other files

The detachment dealt with 15 mental health investigations, nine missing person’s reports (one active), seven traffic collisions, 73 various traffic charges and three individuals charged with impaired driving.

One 19-year-old is charged with carrying a concealed weapon, resisting arrest, possession with a weapon for a dangerous purpose and three counts of failing to comply with an undertaking. This stems from an attempted vehicle stop on 100^th Street early Saturday morning, where a passenger fled from the vehicle and was taken into custody after a brief foot pursuit.

The suspect, Lorenz Paskimin, was found to be in possession of bear spray he had concealed. He was remanded into custody and made his first appearance on Monday.

Anyone with information on any incident can call the Battlefords RCMP or Crime Stoppers.
