ESTEVAN — While Saskatchewan Roughrider fans in Estevan were largely well-behaved after the Green and White won the Grey Cup on Nov. 16, one person was seemingly not very happy.

The EPS reported it also responded to noise complaints regarding people celebrating the Grey Cup win. The people involved were warned.
