Members of the Estevan Police Service arrested two people for impaired driving Monday night.
Police received a call about a possible impaired driver. Members were out looking for the vehicle when another call was received that the same vehicle was located in a yard north of the city and it had hit a yard ornament.
Officers attended to the scene but the vehicle had fled prior to police arrival. A short time later, the vehicle was located and two males were arrested.
Through investigation a 22-year-old Estevan man was charged with impaired driving and failing to remain at the scene of an accident. A 21-year-old Ontario man was also charged with impaired driving. The two individuals had switched positions in the vehicle after the collision.
Both will appear later in August to answer to the charges.
No further details were immediately released, and the Mercury will have more information as it becomes available.
Also on Monday, police received a report of a disturbance at a Pleasantdale residence. Members attended and one of the parties from the residence left for the day to resolve the situation.
Police received a report of mischief to a vehicle and a residence. The report indicates that damage was caused by a pellet or BB gun. The matter is still under investigation.
Police received a second report of a disturbance at a second Pleasantdale residence. Members attended and arrested a 24-year-old man for assault and breaching his conditional sentence order. The man was brought before the court later on in the afternoon. He will appear in court again on Thursday.
