Barrie Police Weekend Press Releases

Occurrence Type: Public Intoxication

Occurrence #: BA16055682

Date: Saturday, November 5, 2016 – 6:47pm

A 38 year old Barrie man attracted a lot of attention Saturday evening. He attended a licensed establishment on Anne Street but was refused service due to already being in a highly intoxicated state.

The male was persistent however, and remained outside the business asking other customers to purchase alcohol for him. In addition to making a nuisance of himself, witnesses described that he was stumbling through the parking lot and had walked in front of several moving cars.

The male was arrested for his own safety and taken to the Barrie Police Station to sober up.

The male had plenty of company as alcohol got the better of a few other Barrie folks last night. One 58 year old man was apprehended at the 5 points, staggering through the busy intersection and barely able to walk (BA16055706) and in the west end of Barrie a 31 year old male was arrested after he attempted to gain access to a home he believed to be his…but was not, and was not even on the same side of town as his. Both males were delivered to the Barrie Police Station to sleep it off.

Occurrence #: BA16055730

Date: Sunday, November 6, 2016 – 12:06am

Barrie Police Officers involved in a RIDE detail investigated an impaired driver in the south end of Barrie off Veterans just after midnight last night. They were called to the area by a concerned citizen who had been approached and harassed by the driver before he entered his vehicle and prepared to leave.

The driver, a 35 year old Barrie man was arrested and taken to the Barrie Police Station to provide samples of his breath for analysis and blew ALMOST FOUR TIMES the legal limit.

The male was charged with Impaired Operation and Over 80 and his license was automatically suspended for 90 days.

Throughout the course of the RIDE detail 285 vehicles were stopped and happily no other drivers were charged criminally.

Occurrence Type: Warrant

Occurrence #: BA16055708

Date: Saturday, November 5, 2016 – 9:47pm

A 19 year old Barrie man was disappointed with his involvement with police last evening. He called police to remove an unwanted male from his hotel whom had become drunk and out of control. Police were happy to assist and the male was moved along without incident. Unfortunately for the caller, he had an outstanding warrant for failing to re-attend court. He was taken into custody and released on an appearance notice with a future court date that he will hopefully keep.
