The Nelson Police Department has been dealing with an increase in calls over the past week.
They’ve had a number of complaints about transients camping in the city and leaving behind debris.
There’s also been a noticable increase in impaired driving resulting in a number of vehicles being seized and licenses suspended.
Additionally police been dealing with a number of people using drugs and alcohol downtown.
Yesterday they responded to a pair of fights.
In one instance a knife was used and a man was cut.
The other brew-ha-ha was a consensual fight between two drunk men and won’t result in any charges.
