BORED AND DRUNK? WHATEVER YOU DO, DON’T CALL THE COPS

Bored and drunk are never a good combination – especially when it comes to calling the cops multiple times without an emergency to report.

So it went for East Algoma OPP, who eventually charged a chronic 911 caller from Spragge – 140 km west of Sudbury – after he allegedly rang the emergency digits three times.

OPP claim on Oct. 11, at approximately 11:30 p.m., officers responded to a third false 911 call from a residence on Hwy. 17 and “determined the caller was intoxicated for all three 911 calls and was apparently bored.”

BOY, 17, ACCUSED OF BB GUN SHOOTINGS IN NEWMARKET

York Regional Police are reminding the public about the dangers of BB guns after a youth was charged in connection with four incidents involving a replica firearm in Newmarket.

Police say on the afternoon of Oct. 16 that officers responded to four separate weapon calls in the area of Davis Dr. and Alexander Rd. with victims reporting being shot multiple times by a BB gun fired by a group of teens riding in a grey sedan.
