RELEASE: IMMEDIATELY
PUBLICATION LE: 05th May 2008
FROM: Arnprior Detachment
DE:
The Arnprior detachment dealt with 65 calls for service
over the past week. Six of these calls were false alarms.
Arnprior detachment members commented on the higher
percentage of seatbelt usage during the Spring seatbelt campaign in the town
of Arnprior. However there is
still work to be done. There were 33 charges of non compliance in wearing
seatbelts. Statistics would show that the proper usage of seatbelts
especially in low speed collisions reduce the amount injuries received in a
motor vehicle collision.
Constable Dunfield is investigating a Break enter and
theft from a shed located on Elgin Street west
in Arnprior. The break in occurred between the 30th of April and
the 03rd of May. Tools were reported stolen in this break in.
Constable Doherty arrested 38 year old Penny Briscoe of
Renfrew on the 03rd of May after receiving information of an
intoxicated person on Edey Street.
Ms. Briscoe was charged and released upon sobering up for being intoxicated
in a public place.
Sergeant Dowdall arrested 23 year old Walter White of
Arnprior on the 04th of May at about 1:27
am for breaching his Recognizance release for consuming alcohol.
Mr. White will appear at a bail hearing charged with two counts of Breach of
Recognizance.
The Arnprior detachment would remind drivers of motor
vehicles of the laws pertaining to crosswalks at traffic lights and crossovers
in the Town of
Arnprior. Drivers must be
attentative to pedestrians using these traffic crossings. Failure to do so
could result in demerit losses and a fine if convicted. The onus where a
pedestrian using the crosswalk properly is for the driver to stop and yield
the right away to the pedestrian. The pedestrian using the crossing should
make eye contact with the driver of a vehicle before crossing the street and
never take it for granted. If you find yourself using the crosswalk and a
violator has contravened this law report this to the Arnprior OPP. Remember
collecting as much as possible information for the report as possible for
example license plate and description.
