Rimbey RCMP responded to 42 calls for service. Complaints ranged from mental health issues to neighborhood disputes and domestic violence.
In the early morning hours of Feb. 2, officers responded to a report of a donnybrook at a local watering hole. Evidently, oilfield workers had an argument in the bar and felt the only way to resolve it was to resort to fisticuffs. The subsequent fight resulted in the loser being knocked unconscious. EMS transported the injured man to the hospital where he was treated for non-life threatening injuries. The investigation is ongoing into this matter and charges are pending.
Doesn’t take stay away as an answer

Driving by the light of the silvery moon
In the evening hours of Feb. 27, a 46-year-old Bluffton woman, left a local bar in her vehicle after consuming several wobbly pops.

The driver failed a breathalyzer test, her license was suspended and her vehicle was impounded under the authority of the new legislation aimed at making Alberta’s roads safer.
That’s not neighbourly
RCMP responded to several calls regarding an ongoing neighborhood dispute. A resident of Rimbey is facing a number of charges in connection the bad relations he has with his neighbors. He is well known by police and faces countless criminal charges relating to his behavior.
If it’s too good to be true…
Citizens are still falling prey to fraudsters from all parts of the world. If you are considering buying or investing in anything off the internet, please do your research and ask for references. Remember, if a deal sounds too good to be true —it likely is. The odds of buying a new Mercedes Benz valued at $63,000 for $9,000 are pretty low. Especially if the seller requests you wire him the money to Morocco.
