Woman accused of waving BB gun during road rage incident in Wallingford
A woman was arrested on weapons charges over the weekend after an argument at a gas station led to her following another person in a vehicle while waving what looked like a real gun, police said. Janesleon Santana-Colon, 23, of Wallingford faces charges of criminal possession of a firearm, illegal use of a facsimile firearm, breach of peace, operating a motor vehicle with intent to harass and operating a motor vehicle with a suspended license, according to Lt. Stephen S. Jaques, Jr. of the Wallingford Police Department. Jaques said officers at 7:49 a.m. on Sunday received a complaint from a woman who reported that someone was following her vehicle while waving a gun following an altercation at a local gas station. She alleged that the individual followed her out of the gas station in a gold BMW and was trying to pull alongside her vehicle while holding a black handgun. According to Jaques, officers responded to Delta Food and Fuel at 250 South Colony Road, but the individuals who were reportedly involved had already left the area. Jaques said a quick investigation led police to find that the BMW was linked to an apartment building on Parsons Street. When police responded there, they found Santana-Colon in the parking lot with her arms raised, according to Jaques. Santana-Colon allegedly told police she was the one they were looking for before she was detained, Jaques said. She allegedly was found with a carbon dioxide-powered Crossman SNR .357 Snub Nose pellet/BB gun that resembled a revolver, according to Jaques. The BMW she was driving was hidden behind the apartment building. Santana-Colon was released on a $5,000 non-surety bond after she was taken to a hospital for an evaluation. He is scheduled to appear in Meriden Superior Court on June 12.

Saskatchewan riverboat docked indefinitely due to low water levels, sand buildup
The Prairie Lily is part of what makes Saskatoon shine, but it appears to be hitting choppy waters in what could be its final season on the South Saskatchewan River. Senior Captain Mike Steckhan said silt and sand buildups have not been washed out naturally for four seasons now, and while he has been able to set sail at low water levels for the last three, he said it's now impossible to navigate safely this year. 'We did our survey with our small survey boat and there isn't enough water at the top of our course to actually turn the ship around,' said Steckhan. 'Since we haven't had a flush, now year four, the channel is essentially closed.'

Sign up for breaking National newsletter Sign Up By providing your email address, you have read and agree to Global News' Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy The riverboat has been in conversations with the province's Water Security Agency (WSA) since July of last summer. Steckhan is calling for water to be released from Lake Diefenbaker to flush out sand from the valley. Story continues below advertisement Shawn Jaques, President and CEO of the WSA, said it's not as simple as opening up the floodgates. 'Because of the level of the lake, we just don't have that surplus of water to release, to flush out the system if you will,' Jaques said. 'We just don't have the luxury to have that excess water to be able to do that at this moment.' Jaques said the last number of years have been drier than normal, with a below average snow pack from the Rocky Mountains. He added the lake is a complex system servicing different users and communities, including roughly 60 per cent of the province's drinking water. The WSA says it will continue to monitor inflows into Lake Diefenbaker, working with Alberta due to the Rockies acting as the lake's water source. The agency could not provide a firm timetable as to when or even if water would be released. Steckhan said his first voyage of the season was scheduled for Mother's Day, but instead he says Prairie Lily staff will be contacting ticket holders for refunds, with the rest of the riverboat's season now hanging in the balance. 'Because there's literally not enough water in this valley right now to float this ship, we simply have to cancel our cruises.'

Renata Fast scores in OT as Spectres come back to beat Frost 3-2 in Natalie Spooner's return
TORONTO (AP) — Renata Fast of the Toronto Spectres scored on a breakaway late in overtime to successfully celebrate Natalie Spooner's return after a nine-month layoff from off-season knee surgery with a 3-2 win against the Minnesota Frost on Tuesday night.
