Bracebridge OPP has arrested and charged a man for public intoxication and resisting arrest.
Police say early Saturday morning, around 3:15 a.m., an officer was conducting a routine patrol in the town and noticed a suspicious person in the area of a convenience store on Wellington Street.
OPP says the officer attempted to engage the person in a discussion and the man responded with hostility and refused to comply with the officer – which eventually led to a struggle and his arrest.
Police have charged a 32-year-old Orillia man with being intoxicated in a public place, assault with intent to resist arrest and resisting a Peace Officer.
The accused will be in the Ontario Court of Justice in Bracebridge on June 23 to answer his charges.
