A Rossland man was observed allegedly under the influence of alcohol and causing a disturbance.

A Rossland man who had caused a disturbance two weeks ago was back at it late last week.

On Friday, May 2 at 11:19 a.m. Trail RCMP officers responded to 36-year-old Rossland man causing a disturbance inside a business located in the 1000 block of Rossland Avenue in Trail.

The officers located the man in the parking lot outside of the business and observed he was allegedly under the influence of alcohol.

“The man made a threat towards the officers and attempted to strike one; however, the officers stopped the man from completing the assault and arrested him,” said RCMP Sgt. Mike Wicentowich in a statement.

The officers transported him to the Trail Detachment and lodged him into the cellblock. The officer later released the man when sober and with a condition not to attend the store. The officer will forward a report to Crown counsel about the incident.

“The 36-year-old Rossland man is the same man as reported on the other week,” said Sgt. Wicentowich. “Officers often demonstrated great patience and understanding when dealing with people on multiple occasions before pursuing criminal charges. Criminal charges are often the last resort in order to manage someone’s behaviour in our communities.”
