FRYING-PAN ASSAULT

A 25-year-old woman was arrested after she allegedly struck her boyfriend with a frying pan during a dispute.

Police went to the 1000 block of Ninth Street at 10 p.m. on Thursday following reports of people fighting outside a residence. They located a man and woman who were in a relationship, and determined that the woman struck the man, police said in a news release on Friday.

The woman was arrested for assault with a weapon and was held by police until sober with an undertaking for a future court date.

MAN LYING ON ROAD

A man was detained on Thursday after police discovered him lying on the road at the intersection of First Street and Victoria Avenue.

The man was held under the Protective Detention and Care of Intoxicated Persons Act to be released once sober.

STOLEN VEHICLE

A 29-year-old man was arrested in Brandon after police allegedly found him in a stolen vehicle and in possession of a credit card belonging to the vehicle’s owner.

The man was found just after 9 a.m. on Thursday when officers tracked the vehicle using Global Positioning System (GPS), police said in a news release Friday.

RCMP provided a tip that led to the discovery of the vehicle, which was reported stolen from MacGregor.

The man was charged with theft of a motor vehicle, possession of a weapon, two counts of possession of property obtained by crime, fraudulent use of a credit card and failure to comply with release orders.

He was held in custody pending a court appearance.
