Imitation Firearm

At 11:35 p.m. Friday, police attended to an apartment block in the south end of the city, as a complaint was received that a male was brandishing a handgun during a social gathering. Police were able to gain entry to the apartment, and located an imitation pellet pistol in the possession of a 21-year-old Brandon male. That male was lodged in cells at BPS overnight, and will appear before a Justice this morning, facing two charges of breach of a recognizance order.

Impaired Driver/MVA

Just after midnight today, a single vehicle accident occurred at the north end of the Daly Overpass on 18^th Street, when the operator of the vehicle lost control and struck a hydro pole. The driver and passengers were not injured, however the driver showed signs of alcohol impairment and was arrested. The 25-year-old male from Brandon provided samples of his breath in excess of the legal limit. Police detained the male in cells at BPS overnight, and he will be released today for Provincial Court in June, facing charges of impaired driving and driving over 80 mg%.

The investigation revealed that a male and female currently in a relationship had assaulted each other during an argument.
