Police in the western Canadian town of Wetaskiwin didn’t have to do much work when they arrested a drunk driver at the weekend — he had parked his car next to their offices and wandered inside.
Police discovered the man as they drove by early on Saturday morning to respond to an unrelated call. Although the police office was locked, the lobby was open.
“There was a vehicle parked about 10 feet (3 meters) outside our front door. The gentleman had walked into the front lobby and he was displaying many indications of being intoxicated,” Constable Mark Scheck said on Wednesday.
“So at that point we did take him into custody … it’s pretty unusual,” he told Reuters by phone from Wetaskiwin, some 45 miles south of Edmonton, Alberta.
The 28-year-old man has been charged with impaired driving.
