Weekend wrap up for PA Police

Jul 18, 2012 | 7:03 AM

It was another busy weekend for the Prince Albert Police Service. They responded to almost 300 calls for service and arrested 68 people – 35 of them for public intoxication.

The majority of the calls were for disturbances, loud parties and false alarms. A few calls were of note.

Officers were on routine patrol in the 3200 block of Sixth Ave. East on Saturday morning when they saw a suspicious man walking in the area. He attempted to evade officers but was finally stopped and it was revealed the man was on probation with a curfew and a clause to reside in Rose Valley, SK.

When officers tried to arrest him, he fled the scene, but was arrested after a short foot chase and struggle.
