ESTEVAN, Sask. — Members of the Estevan Police Service (EPS) handled a variety of calls on Halloween.
According to the Oct. 31 police report, the EPS received a report of a dog bite in which the victim was out trick or treating, and a dog came out of a yard and bit the individual and his dog.

Police received an erratic driving complaint on Highway 47 south near Willow Park Greens. The EPS said the matter is still under investigation.
Police received a call through the Report Impaired Drivers line regarding a vehicle leaving a cabaret. A man had been cautioned against driving due to his level of intoxication but didn’t heed the advice. The EPS said members were unable to locate the vehicle in question and it didn’t return to the registered owner’s home.
A report was investigated of a woman passed out in a parking lot. Due to what the EPS said was her extreme level of intoxication, she was assessed by Estevan EMS on scene and transported to the hospital to receive additional treatment.
EPS members attended to a local liquor establishment to investigate a complaint of an individual breaching their court-ordered conditions by having contact with another person. The EPS said the matter is still under investigation.
EPS attended to a residence in response to a 911 call believed to involve violence. Members arrived, the EPS said, and determined a medical emergency was occurring and arranged for EMS to attend.
Officers were called to a report of a highly intoxicated woman in the parking lot of a local convenience store. The 23-year old Estevan woman was located and arrested for public intoxication. She was lodged in cells and released when sober.
A traffic stop during the nightshift identified a novice driver who had been consuming alcohol earlier in the night. The licence class held by the youth driver does not permit any alcohol to be in a person’s system when driving and as such, his driver's licence was suspended for 60 days, and the friend’s vehicle he was driving was impounded for three days.
