Late night driver surprised by actions of intoxicated couple
By Nelson Daily Staff
St. Paddy’s Day weekend appears to have been too much to handle for some celebrators as Nelson Police Department was kept busy with Green Beer party goers.
The most bizzare incident happened early Sunday (March 17) morning.
A driver passing by the intersection of Stanley and Victoria streets was alarmed to see a man and woman involved in sexual activity.
When officers arrived shortly after the receiving the call at 2:32 a.m., they found the intoxicated couple, clothing askew.
The intoxicated 26-year-old visiting male obviously wasn’t please that police were on the scene and attempted to hand the investigating member $20 as if to offer a bribe.
The man was advised that money was better spent on a cab ride to his residence as he was too intoxicated to remain in public.
After refusing to head home he was lodged into cells until sober.
The female, also drunk, understood she made a bad choice and opted for a taxi ride home.
The male was charged under the Liquor Control and Licensing Act.
Both were warned regarding indecent acts in public under the Criminal Code.
Too drunk to find right residence
Sunday (March 17), NPD was called to the Uphill part of the city at 1:43 a.m. to a complaint of a female on the roof of a house.
When police arrived they found that when the resident went to investigate the ruckus, the woman ran into the house, scaring the children.
The resident chased the intoxicated 21-year-old out of the house.
The woman climbed back onto the roof forcing police to arrest the perpetrator from the second floor window of the house.
The female was grossly intoxicated and lodged into police custody until sober. It seems in the drunken state she believed the residence was her own despite the actual homeowner chasing her out.
Charges of trespassing by night and unlawfully in a dwelling house are being considered.
Just one more for the road
Nelson officers responded to a call at 1:58 a.m. Sunday (March 17) to a report a man had kicked the door of a drinking establishment, injuring a staff member.
Nelson Police attended and detained all parties involved.
Assistance was also requested for the injured doorman. It seems the intoxicated 32-year-old Nelson man was trying to get into the bar to have one last drink for the evening and was dumbfounded as to why it was locked, at closing time.
The incident is still under investigation.
Downtown disturbance leads to time away from, Downtown
On Friday (March 15) at approximately 8 a.m., Nelson Police received multiple calls about a male on Baker and Ward Street causing a disturbance.
The 24-year-old male was yelling and swearing while kicking a payphone then knocking lids off garbage cans.
The man, known to police, was located and continued with his shouting and swearing at police.
He was arrested and transported to cells where he was held until calm and then put before a Justice of the Peace to answer to several charges which include causing a disturbance, carrying a concealed weapon, resisting arrest and uttering threats.
The male was released with numerous conditions that include no liquor or drugs, and to stay out of the downtown core.
His next appearance will be April 9 in Nelson.
