A party gone wrong at Idlewild Park in Cranbrook led to a RCMP officer being assaulted by a 15-year-old female.

On April 30, Cranbrook RCMP general duty members received a call about a party at Idlewild Park. RCMP was advised that there were several youths along with a campfire in the park. On arrival it was noted that six persons were sitting around the fire.

Cranbrook members approached the group and noted open liquor along with drug paraphernalia on a table nearby. Police advised that the park was to be closed and that they had to leave. Most of the group was co-operative as they poured out open liquor. “One of the partiers was less than pleased at being told to leave and began to yell and swear at police. The police officer advised her to walk away and to leave with her friends. She neglected to take the police officer’s advice and continued to yell and scream,” explained Cst. Katie Forgeron of Cranbrook RCMP

Police arrested the 15-year-old and as they were handcuffing her and taking her to their vehicle she began to kick and pull away from officers.

“At one point she kicked the officer in the face and chest. She also threatened to kill the police officer. She was eventually placed in the police vehicle and lodged in cells,” Forgeron reported.

Charges of assaulting a police officer and uttering threats are being recommended for the 15-year-old resident of Cranbrook.
