A man who allegedly urinated on some elevator controls was the first of three men arrested Thursday afternoon.

Owen Sound police were busy Thursday afternoon making three separate arrests in the span of three hours.

Police say on April 22nd they began an investigation after a report of someone having urinated on the controls of an elevator, causing it to break down.

They say on April 23rd, they identified the suspect and arrested a 30 year old man at 3:15 that afternoon. When they did so, they say they found drugs on him including meth and fentanyl.

Charges against him include two drug possession for the purpose of trafficking charges, mischief under $5000 and four counts of failing to comply with probation.

Meanwhile, a couple of hours later, at about 5:30 p.m. police also arrested a man for altering a prescription. Officers attended a local pharmacy and arrested a 19-year-old man for with uttering a forged document.  They say he had received a prescription for a non-narcotic drug and altered it into an oxycodone prescription.  

Police say they were called when the pharmacist became suspicious and contacted the doctor confirming the prescription had been altered.

About half an hour later, just after 6 p.m. officers responded to a single vehicle collision into a building in a downtown parking lot. Police say they quickly learned the lone vehicle was the same one from a traffic complaint a short time earlier.

They say those complaints were about a vehicle travelling at a slow speed with articles falling of the vehicle including a gas can and items being thrown from the vehicle.

According to police, witnesses said the vehicle was driving in circles when the driver fell out and was dragged by the seat belt before coming to rest against the building.  

Police say the 57-year-old man received some minor scrapes. He was arrested and charged with dangerous driving and drug impaired driving.
His licence is suspended for 90 days and his vehicle is impounded for 7 days.

It's easy enough to have a cheap laugh at the expense of our home-town losers.

After all, who gets all fucked up on drugs and has their car doing donuts in a parking lot while they're hanging out the door, being dragged along by their seatbelt...

That's no laughing matter; that's a cry for help.
