Driver charged with hitting pedestrian
A 53-year-old woman is accused of hitting a pedestrian with a vehicle in Brandon’s west end on Saturday evening.
Police responded just before 7 p.m. to a report of an altercation near the 2200 block of Rosser Avenue.
They say a woman intentionally drove a vehicle onto the sidewalk, hitting a pedestrian, who was not injured.
A male youth who was a passenger in the vehicle allegedly shot at another individual with a BB gun.
Officers were able to stop the vehicle and arrest the occupants, who included two 16-year olds.
One was charged with two counts of possession of a weapon and two counts of assault with a weapon. He was held in a BPS detention cell until his court appearance.
The other teen was charged with possession of a weapon dangerous to the public and carrying a concealed weapon.
The woman was charged with assault with a weapon, dangerous driving and other offences.
Suspicious man on North Hill
Several calls to police about a man checking vehicles sent officers to a residential neighbourhood near the Brandon Community Sportsplex at 10 a.m. Sunday.
Witnesses reported the man was carrying a pry bar and was spotted heading west through various yards.
Officers found and arrested the suspect in front of a business in the Corral Centre, adding he had a pry bar on him.
The man was charged with possession of break-in instruments and released with a court date of June 23.
Man had 30 different IDs
Brandon police say a 43-year-old man has been charged with possessing 30 pieces of identification from 30 different people.
On Friday just after 11 a.m., officers stopped a vehicle in the 1300 block of Van Horne Avenue. They say the driver gave them a false name and that he and two passengers had unstamped tobacco.
Officers seized the vehicle. After members of the BPS Major Crime Unit obtained a search warrant, they found 30 separate pieces of identification belonging to 30 different individuals, as well as a can of bear spray.
The 43-year-old man was taken into custody to appear in court facing 30 counts of possessing identity documents and other charges.
