Kimberley RCMP kept busy on Monday FOR THE TOWNSMAN
On Monday July 11, Kimberley RCMP were kept busy with a number of incidents over a twelve hour period. The first took place just after lunch. Two subjects got into an altercation on Spokane Street and a subject punched another knocking his two front teeth out. The suspect departed prior to police arrival. Shortly after that police were called to a crash on Highway 93/95 at the
Wasa Rest Area. A pickup truck was passing a tractor trailer unit, when the unit began to make a left turn. The semi struck the side of the pick-up forcing it into the ditch. Fortunately there were no injuries. After that police received a report of a stolen travel trailer. The owner had parked it on the White Swan Forest Service Road and attended the Lussier Hot Springs with his family.
When he came back he found the hitch lock had been broken and the trailer gone. Police made patrols in the area but it was not located until the morning of July 12, where it was recovered close to Fort Steele. Later in the evening an officer conducted a traffic stop of a vehicle operating without tail lights. While dealing with the driver, he noted signs of impairment.
