Among those was an incident on St. Laurent Drive and 110^th Street on Oct. 7, where two men yelling at each other shifted to one of them challenging an officer to a fight. Fleeing in a pickup truck afterwards, 23-year-old Darby Johnson was located a short time later and arrested without incident.

Among Johnson’s charges are possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, carrying a concealed weapon, resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer. He appeared in court last week.

Police also responded to an incident on the 1800 block of 102^nd Street on Oct. 6, where a 66-year-old male was struck with a metal bar by his 35-year-old daughter. She was arrested on the scene for assault with a weapon and will appear in court Dec. 6.

Break-ins continue, but in less volume

While there were no break and enter cases involving businesses this week, Battlefords RCMP had five investigations, including one at a residence on the 1800 block of 101^st Street last week. The items that were taken included hockey equipment.

There were six vehicle thefts in this service period, with police on the lookout for two of them; a grey 2006 Pontiac Pursuit (Saskatchewan license 861-MFS) and a white 2016 Ford Edge (Saskatchewan license 355-LWM) stolen over the weekend from the 1400 block of 102^nd Street and the 900 block of 106^th Street respectively.

Other calls for service included four missing persons reports (none of which are active), 17 Mental Health Act investigations, 10 traffic collisions, two individuals charged with impaired driving offences and 45 various traffic charges.

Anyone with information on any incident can call the Battlefords RCMP detachment, 310-RCMP or Crime Stoppers.
