Members of the Estevan Police Service are saluting the organizers of the street dance held in Estevan on Saturday night and those who attended the event, the vast majority of whom were well-behaved.
“Police were impressed with the business organization’s functions last evening,” the EPS wrote in a news release. “The social was well organized and operated such that the public appeared to enjoy themselves without any problems. Hats off to the organizers, volunteers, and security.”
The Estevan Downtown Business Association organized the street dance, which was held in the 1100-block of Fourth Street. Fogdog and El Guitaro supplied the music for the large crowd of revellers.
Police did have few calls related to the event. They removed a male from the street dance early in the evening for getting into an altercation with a couple other males. The male’s evening ended early as he was sent on his way home and wasn’t able to socialize any longer at the dance.
Members arrested an Estevan male for causing a disturbance by fighting at the street dance after closing. The male was lodged in cells to be released later on in the day. He will be released with no charges.
A number of individuals were issued a summary offence ticket for urinating in public during the night shift.
Also on Saturday, police received a noise bylaw complaint regarding music at a west end residence. Police attended and warned the property representative under the bylaw.
Members located an intoxicated male at a local fast food restaurant. The male was assisted in returning to his hotel room. There were no further issues.
Police issued a 72-hour driver’s licence suspension to a female for operating a vehicle under the influence of marijuana.
