In what was probably a losing battle from the beginning for one Sarnia man, Huron County OPP made an arrest late last week after police found a man trying to fight a tree while allegedly intoxicated.
According to a tweet from OPP West Region, a 39-year-old man from Sarnia was arrested by Huron County OPP after police found him intoxicated and attempting to fight a tree on William Street in South Huron on Dec. 15.
“Yes, you read that correctly,” OPP said on Twitter.
The man received a public intoxication ticket and was held overnight in order to sober up.
OPP once again remind the public to “drink responsibly.”
