UNITY, Sask. — A Unity man is facing an impaired driving charge and another driver received a 72-hour roadside suspension during traffic stops in the region, according to the latest RCMP report for May 13 to 19.
Unity RCMP say the 37-year-old man was charged with impaired operation of a motor vehicle. In a separate traffic stop, another motorist was issued a roadside suspension after failing a breath test.
Police also responded to a theft complaint at a local gas station, where a customer drove off without paying for fuel. The individual later returned to settle the bill, and no charges were laid.
Officers were called to assist in a range of domestic situations, including a child custody dispute and a family conflict, both of which were resolved through police mediation. RCMP also helped maintain the peace while an individual retrieved personal property from a residence.
A complaint under the Mental Health Act was received and officers spoke with the person involved. No charges were reported.
Meanwhile, CP Police notified local RCMP about a train blocking a rural railway crossing near Unity. The incident was recorded for information purposes.
One report of fraud was filed, but police say there was insufficient evidence to proceed.
Two traffic complaints and two false 911 calls rounded out the week's calls for service.
RCMP are reminding residents that non-urgent crimes such as fraud under $5,000, vandalism, minor theft, traffic complaints, and harassing communication can be reported online at: ocresielc.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/saskatchewan.
Anyone with information about crimes in the Unity, Wilkie or Macklin areas is asked to contact their local RCMP detachment or Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
