Disturbance of peace
In ten cases of disturbing the peace in both the private and public spheres, peace could be guaranteed. Most of the people involved showed understanding and lowered the volume or interrupted the celebrations. One person was fined a fine for littering.
Drunk road users
In the early hours of the morning, three drunk road users were searched. In a 21-year-old driver, the evidence-based breathalyzer test showed a value of 0.76 mg / L. He and a 64-year-old driver had to surrender their driver’s license on the spot.
Interventions at home
People had to audition in four places due to personal life crises. Sometimes these had to be examined by a specialist. In three cases, the police patrols of the canton of San Galo had to intervene and mediate disputes in the private sphere.
Violence / fighting
In Gossau SG and Rapperswil-Jona there were three violent disputes. In one case in Rapperswil-Jona, two men between the ages of 21 and 25 were beaten and kicked by several men in the key area. The 21-year-old man was slightly injured and had to be taken to hospital.
Burned
In two cases, the local fire department had to move due to fires. In Schmerikon, fireworks that were allegedly discarded set a moth fire in a garbage can in Rösslihab.
In Wil SG, a fire broke out on the balcony of an apartment building on St. Gallerstrasse, which firefighters were able to quickly put out. The fireworks that landed on the balcony are the main cause of the fire in the investigation. The exact cause is now being clarified by the center of forensic competence of the police of the canton of St. Gallen. Property damage is estimated at about 10,000 francs.
Non-compliance with Corona guidelines
In one case, the cantonal emergency call center was informed that Corona guidelines were not being followed. No misconduct was found during an on-site inspection. No further reports were received in this regard.
