• Columbia Valley RCMP responded to an assault complaint where a male had been assaulted while walking his dog in Fairmont Hot Springs.

The male had been walking his dog when an unleashed black lab ran out towards him and his dog, which was on a leash. It is alleged that the lab was showing its teeth and was subsequently kicked in the chest by the male in order to keep his own dog safe.

Another male then approached the male who had defended himself and his dog and he was punched in the head for retaliation of kicking the dog, leaving a two-inch cut in the first male’s head. The incident is still under investigation.

• Columbia Valley RCMP were notified that two canoes were floating in the lake several weeks ago and a neighbour had brought them to shore. One is a red 15′ canoe with the marking “ARC” on the bow. The other is a green 12′ canoe. The complainant advised that he would put the found property in the newspaper and see if the owner contacts him.

• Columbia Valley police observed a black Mustang with Alberta plates pass a group of people that were on the side of the road waiting for a cab.

The driver (later identified) slammed the brakes on and backed up screeching his tires.  The tires were squealed again when the driver took off after the group jumped into his vehicle.

The vehicle was pulled over and the driver was recognized as having been spoken to two hours earlier by police when a bar walk through had been done at Bud’s Bar and Lounge.

It was believed that the driver was intoxicated as he was displaying symptoms of impairment while at the bar two hours previously. Members formed a reasonable suspicion and the breath demand was read after waiting 15 minutes.

Two samples were obtained and both samples resulted in fails. A 90 day roadside prohibition was given, and the vehicle was towed by Club Towing.

• Sometime overnight an unlocked vehicle was broken into that had been parked on Government Street in Windermere. A Garmin GPS unit was taken. If anybody has any information on the missing GPS please advise the Columbia Valley RCMP quoting file 2011-2033.

• Columbia Valley RCMP were advised that someone had gone through a moored boat over night while it had been parked at the Windermere Marina. Several items were taken: a wireless iPod docking station, keys to tubes, suntan lotion and candy.
