Cyclist arrested during Sunday night snowstorm
Chatham-Kent police have arrested a 27-year-old Walpole Island man who was allegedly riding a bike in a snowstorm in Wallaceburg Sunday night.
Police said an officer stopped to talk to the cyclist after the man was nearly hit by a car because of low visibility caused by blowing snow. Officers said the man didn't have any lights on his bike, either.
At that time, the officer at the scene also learned that the man was wanted by OPP on some outstanding warrants, so the accused was arrested and handed over to provincial police.
