Columbia Valley detachment members were busy investigating a separate matter in Radium when an intoxicated male approached them requesting a ride. The members contacted a family member to pick up the 18 year-old male. The male proceeded to interfere with the police by attempting to open the police door and also standing in front of the police car. As the male was being uncooperative and would likely do the same with the person picking him up a second call was made to the relative and advised to cancel attending the scene and that the male could be picked up in the morning at the detachment.
