RCMP REPORT Media Release - Routine

INTOXICATED FEMALE On July 24th, 2022 at approximately 12:30 am, Chase RCMP were conducting routine patrols at Chase Memorial Park.

An intoxicated and angry female teenager was found lying on the ground, vomiting and crying. A friend was valiantly trying to assist her, despite being cursed at.

Police called for an ambulance to assess the teenager. While waiting for the ambulance, the teenager became violent and attempted to assault the Police officers who were trying to care for her. She was therefore arrested and handcuffed for everyone’s safety. When the ambulance arrived, she tried to kick the paramedics despite being handcuffed. All the while, she yelled and screamed crude profanities and insults, disturbing everyone within earshot of the park. Police had to wrestle her into the Police vehicle, which resulted in everyone being smeared with vomit.

A parent was contacted by Police but declined to collect the teenager in her current state. Police were forced to lodge her in the drunk tank so she could be monitored until she was sober.

BAD BIRDS On July 28th, 2022, Chase RCMP were requested to conduct a well-being check at a home in Celista. Police attended and located a male who was suffering from surprising injuries. He explained to Police that several days earlier, he was attacked by a rooster and turkeys.

His injuries included two broken hips, a broken finger and various lacerations.

He had received the necessary medical treatment and did not require further assistance from Police. Police were told that the birds in question were already scheduled to receive the death penalty for their crimes.

DRIVING COMPLAINT On July 29th, 2022 at approximately 3:10 pm, Chase RCMP were dispatched to a driving complaint on the Trans Canada Highway near Chase. The complainant said he was cut-off by a pickup truck, and he suspected the driver was impaired.

Police conducted patrols but were unable to locate the vehicle.

Approximately 15 minutes later, a frightened female phoned 911. She explained that she and her young daughter were travelling in a pickup truck and were being followed by a grey mini-van. They were nearly home when she noticed the mini-van was still following her. She kept driving so that the other driver wouldn’t know where they lived. They ended up on a dirt road in a rural area. When she tried to turn around to back track, the mini-van blocked the road. She managed to escape and phoned 911. The 911 Dispatcher directed her to the Chase RCMP Detachment. The grey mini-van followed them right into the parking lot.

Police spoke with both drivers and learned that the driver of the mini-van was the original complainant. He was following the pickup truck because he thought the driver was impaired. It apparently did not occur to him that this might be frightening for the individuals being followed.

The driver of the pickup was not impaired, she simply made a common driving error. Although the minivan driver did not have any malicious intent, the mother and daughter were understandably shaken by the experience.

Village of Chase News submitted by Village of Chase

The Village of Chase Mayor and Council recently adopted a new Evacuation Route Plan for the Village of Chase. This document which is available on the Village’s website and a printed copy can be requested at the Village office is intended to provide various evacuation routes for various emergency scenarios, some of which might require a portion of the community to be evacuated, and others that might require a full community wide evacuation.

During any emergency, Village Administration would activate its Emergency Operations Centre - this occurred when the Covid 19 Pandemic was first declared and again briefly when the Village was on evacuation alert due to the wildfire burning in the Monte Lake/Paxton Valley area in 2021. The Emergency Operations Centre would be staffed by Village administration and other staff members. The RCMP would be available to ensure if evacuations were to occur, that people would be informed via a door-to-door campaign.

The Emergency Operations Centre provides for incoming and outgoing information and communications - to the public, to various service providers required to assist in an emergency, to the Village’s Fire department and other emergency

services such as BC Ambulance and the RCMP. The EOC would be integral in disseminating information regarding the best routes to utilize for the particular emergency occurring at that time.

In addition, the Thompson Nicola Regional District may be called upon to provide assistance to the Village of Chase in the event of an emergency.

And Emergency Management BC, part of the Provincial Government, provides assistance to all local governments in the

event of an emergency.

In the event of an evacuation, the Evacuation Plan helps to inform the Emergency Operations Centre, the Village Council, the RCMP and the public which routes are best to take to evacuate from an area or from the entire community.

If you have any questions regarding the Village’s Evacuation Plan, please either visit our website at chase@chasebc.ca or contact staff at the Village office at 250.679.3238.

RCMP REPORT

IMPAIRED DRIVER On July 20th, 2022 at 8:57 pm, Chase RCMP were alerted to a possible impaired driver at the Chase A&W. Police attended and located the vehicle parked nearby.

The driver provided breath samples roadside, which resulted in ‘Fail’ readings, indicating his ability to operate a motor vehicle was impaired by alcohol. He was issued a 90-day prohibition from driving and his vehicle was impounded for 30 days. Kudos to the sharp-eyed staff member for their help in removing this impaired driver from the road.

GAME NIGHT On July 31st, 2022 at approximately 12:30 am, Chase RCMP were dispatched to ‘domestic assault in progress’ in Scotch Creek. A neighbour phoned 911 after hearing a female scream “stop hitting me” followed by a male voice shouting “be quiet”. Upon arriving at the residence, Police found a couple calmly watching TV. It turned out the yelling was related to an aggressive game of Jenga rather than an actual assault. Further Police intervention was not required.

ARSON On July 31st, 2022 at 9:45 pm, Chase RCMP were advised of a disturbance at Silver Beach RV Park in Seymour Arm. The complainant phoned in a frenzy, reporting that a “psycho” male tried to light a travel trailer on fire. The complainant believed that Police were required immediately. Police responded immediately and arrived two hours later. Evidence at the scene indicated that there had been a small (human caused) fire, near a travel trailer. The fire was quickly extinguished by witnesses. The incident was quite unsettling for the families who were trying to enjoy a peaceful vacation.

An adult male was arrested in Seymour Arm and is expected to

face charges of Arson.

INTOXICATED E-BIKER On August 1st, 2022 at 5:59 pm Chase RCMP were requested to assist a cyclist on Highway 97 near Duck Range Road. The complainant reported that a male on an e-bike swerved across the highway, then fell off his bike. It was a miracle he was not struck by traffic. Passers-by stopped to help and called for an ambulance.

The male was aggressive and belligerent with bystanders so the ambulance would not attend without Police. Police attended and waited with the male for approximately 30 minutes until ambulance arrived. The male did not appear to be injured but was clearly intoxicated by alcohol.

Inexplicably, he threatened to kick and spit on paramedics who tried to assess him. He was adamant on biking to Falkland; however, he could barely walk due to his level of intoxication. For his own safety, he was arrested for being Intoxicated in Public and lodged in the drunk tank.

MENTAL HEALTH APPREHENSION On August 1st, 2022 at 6:47 pm, Chase RCMP were requested to attend Seymour Arm to conduct an apprehension under the Mental Health Act. The complainant reported that her 19-year-old son was “losing it”. She explained that his medication did not appear to be working and she feared he would become violent. She stated that she was unable to transport him to hospital. Police arrived in Seymour Arm over two hours later. The male disagreed with his mother’s assessment but was cooperative with Police. He was transported—by Police—from Seymour Arm to Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops. Police were required to remain with the individual at the hospital for over an hour until he was seen by a doctor and admitted.

Chase and District Fish and Game Update submitted by Helen Dalin

Well fall is soon approaching and we have to say it has been a good summer without smoke and too many fires! Our range has been open all summer and it has been very busy with locals and out of towners. Many members of the club are bringing guests up to shoot or participate in archery.

Our Pistol Club and Trap and Skeet clubs have been running monthly all summer. Many new shooters have

come out to try these two activities and have really enjoyed themselves. The next Practice shoots are Sunday, September 11th at 10 am for Trap and Skeet and Saturday, September 18th at 10 am for Pistol Club. For both these activities, the club has shotguns and pistols available to use if you are a beginner. Ammunition is available to buy. Targets are also available for Pistol Club if you don’t have your own. If you do not have a PAL you will

be taught all safety requirements and protocols and supervised during the event.

CDFGC will be back this fall with their annual online BIG FALL 50/50 fundraiser. Our club has a myriad of maintenance costs to upkeep our buildings and grounds and infrastructure.

We are hoping the community will again support us in this fundraising endeavor.

So glad your journalist was able to attend the popular and sensational 2022 happening—and can confirm that a good time was had by all. Smiles and laughter everywhere! Don’t miss it next year.
