With the
green beer flowing throughout the city yesterday, you might think city
police had their work cut out for them last night. But according to
Sergeant Callan of the Saint John Police force, people were surprisingly
well behaved this year.
Callan
tells Tide news that although there were drunks everywhere, there
weren't any incidents apart from a few fights and one impaired driver
pulled over on Garden Street. He says that's basically a regular
Saturday night. Other Canadian cities weren't so lucky, with reports of
fires and rioting in London, Ontario.
Callan also said that people should always be aware that drunk driving is a dangerous crime whether it's a holiday or not.
