Brooks RCMP respond to weapons complaint, collision and release breach over two days

Sep 24, 2026 | 4:11 PM

Brooks RCMP responded to a weapons complaint, a two-vehicle collision and an arrest involving an alleged breach of release conditions over a two-day period.

At about 3:45 p.m. on Sept. 22, police received a report of a man swinging a metal pipe in Evergreen Park.

Officers located the man and observed him swinging the pipe in a manner resembling a sword, although police said he was not threatening anyone with it.

The man dropped the pipe and apologized to officers when they arrived, but was arrested for public intoxication and held until he was sober before being released.

Later that evening, Brooks RCMP responded to a two-vehicle collision at the intersection of 2nd Street West and 15th Avenue at about 7:54 p.m.

Police say a Hyundai was travelling southbound on 2nd Street West and attempting to turn left onto 15th Avenue when it collided with a northbound Chevrolet in the intersection.

One person suffered minor injuries and was taken to hospital for assessment.

Both vehicles were towed from the scene, as the collision investigation remains ongoing.

Early the next morning, at about 12:39 a.m. on Sept. 23, a Brooks RCMP officer conducting proactive foot patrols at Plaza Apartments encountered a woman who was allegedly trespassing on the property.

Police identified the woman as Nyaibol DENG and determined she was in breach of conditions from two separate release orders originating from Brooks RCMP and the Medicine Hat Police Service.

DENG was arrested and charged with three counts of failing to comply with a release order.

She was held for a judicial interim release hearing and was subsequently released by the courts with conditions.
