Cops: Man too drunk for snowblower
By THE CANADIAN PRESS
BARRIE, Ont. - A man who decided to help clear the street with his own push snowblower ended up with a public intoxication ticket.
Police in Barrie, Ont., north of Toronto, say it was for the man's own protection as he was too intoxicated to operate the machine and was almost struck twice by passing vehicles Tuesday evening.
Officers out on patrol noticed him.
Police arrested the 41-year-old man and held him until he was sober.
Sgt. Doug Henderson said he doesn't know if the man had an explanation for his actions.
A public intoxication ticket runs $55.
Well isn't this a fine how do you do. Some poor guy tries to lend a helping hand to his community and blow the snow off the street and all he gets in return is ridicule and a fine. This is why more people aren't good samaritans. Because you try to do something nice and you just end up getting called a drunk.
