If it’s too HOT for you, it’s too HOT for an animal…
An officer was dispatched to the parking lot of Zehrs around 9:30 am for reports of a dog left in a vehicle. The vehicle’s windows were cracked and the dog was barking nonstop. It was already very hot outside. When the officer arrived, the windows were opened about 2 inches, the dog’s tongue was out constantly and panting. A phone number was located for the registered owner of the vehicle and calls were placed with negative results. The owner was paged in Zehrs on loud speaker with negative results as well. A short time after, the owner was located, spoken to, and cautioned over the situation and well-being of the dog. The owner was very apologetic and acknowledged that they was in the wrong.

The LaSalle Police Service is reminding everyone in these hot and humid conditions, that is upon us this summer, that “If its too hot for you, It is too hot for a dog or any other animal.”

Youth Complaint
In the early hours of this morning police were called to a disturbance on a usually quiet street. Upon arrival a group of male youths were seen arguing and a driveway was covered in what appeared to be black mulch. The youth who lived in the house stated that he hasn’t seen his friends in a while and they just started to have a heated discussion, none of the males knew how the mulch became dispersed over the driveway. The youths were asked to leave and the officers left the scene.
COVID-19
At just before midnight LaSalle police received a COVID related call. A neighbour was concerned that there seemed to be a lot of people in a house near to theirs, and not all of them lived at the residence. It was assumed that there were more than 10 people at the residence which was not allowed by the EMCPA (Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act). When officers arrived they spoke to a young male who said that his parents had allowed him to have four friends over for the evening and that the gathering then got out of hand and he didn’t know what to do. The officers saw at least 30 people within the residence and asked all, except the five whom were supposed to be there, to leave and to call for a ride home. The officers waited with the youths until they were picked up, the five that remained at the residence cleaned up the house and the homeowners/parents were called and informed of what had happened.
