On Wednesday July 8, 2015 just after 3:00 p.m. Sarnia Police officers responded to a call regarding an intoxicated man on a bus.
The bus was at a stop near Vidal Street and George Street and the man refused to leave when asked to leave by the bus driver. Once officers arrived they found the 26 year old man sleeping and when awakened he became belligerent and verbally abusive. Due to his level of intoxication and his behavior the officers attempted to arrest him for being intoxicated in a public place. The man began pulling away and tried to kick the officer’s head several times. He was taken into custody and now faces charges including assaulting a police officer and three counts of breaching his probation. He is being held for a bail hearing.
