Two men are in court today, Monday, July 13, after Lloydminster RCMP were called to the Lloyd Ex Fair on Saturday night to deal with what investigators described as a disturbance.
Police say officers responded around 10:48 p.m. on July 11 and found an intoxicated man who had allegedly made repeated attempts to start fights with fair attendees. As officers moved to arrest him, RCMP say he resisted and failed to comply with directions.
During the arrest, a second man allegedly became involved and assaulted one of the responding officers.
As a result, two men were arrested and face multiple charges, including assault-related offences, resisting or obstructing a peace officer, and causing a disturbance. One of the accused is also charged with assaulting a peace officer causing bodily harm, while the other faces an additional charge of failing to comply with an order.
Following judicial interim release hearings, both men were remanded into custody and are scheduled to appear in Saskatchewan Court in Lloydminster on July 13.
Lloydminster RCMP thanked members of the public for their assistance, saying community cooperation helped officers respond quickly and maintain public safety.
