On Sept. 4, Neepawa RCMP were dispatched to a disturbance on Mill Street. Police were told that possibly a male and female were arguing. Police attended residence and came across items scattered all over the yard, as well as smashed windows in the residence. Police spoke to a male inside the residence who told police that he did not live there.

Police entered the residence and arrested the male for Mischief. Upon the arrest, the male began to argue with police and became resistive. Police were able to remove the male from the residence, who then became combative and confrontational with police. After a brief struggle, the male was taken to the Neepawa RCMP detachment where he was given the opportunity to sleep it off. Mark Tibbett has since been charged with uttering threats, resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer.  

On Sept. 15, Neepawa RCMP were dispatched to a break and enter that had occurred at the Riding Mountain Curling Club.  A window was smashed to gain entry into the building.  Once inside, the individual went to the canteen to try and locate food items.  Spray paint was also used throughout the building in attempt to cover up any identifiable traces of those involved.  Through investigation, a male youth was identified as the lone individual responsible for the break and enter.  The youth, who is under the age of 18, cannot be named as per the Youth Criminal Justice Act.  The male has been referred to the local Justice Committee.

On Sept. 23, Minnedosa RCMP came across a vehicle driving on Provincial Road 270.  A vehicle stop was conducted. A lone male was in the vehicle.  Investigation led to the possibility that the driver had consumed alcohol prior to getting into the vehicle.  As a result, the driver was ordered to provide a sample of breath into a roadside screening device.  After a number of attempts, the driver was unable to provide a sample of breath. As a result, Randy Kelso of the Rural Municipality of Oakview has been charged with failure to provide a sample of breath.

On June 7, 2015, Neepawa RCMP conducted a traffic stop in Neepawa.  Upon investigation, it was found that the driver was driving with no drivers licence.  Police also noted the smell of marijuana coming from the vehicle.  A search resulted in the location of marijuana in the vehicle.  As a result, William Brewis was charged with possession of a controlled substance.  On his first court appearance, Brewis failed to attend court.  A warrant of Arrest has been issued for Brewis.  Anyone who knows the whereabouts of Brewis are asked to call the Neepawa RCMP detachment or Crime Stoppers.

The speeder of the month was located by Cpl. Taggart of the Neepawa RCMP.  The driver was found travelling 142 km/hr in a posted 100 km/hr zone.  Fine amount of $599.75.

During the month of September, Spruce Plains RCMP responded to a total of 284 calls for service.
