It's not a Tragically Hip song but a man was arrested after he became locked in the trunk of a car.
Police said officers responded to a report of a suspicious man in the trunk of a silver Honda Accord near Ouellette Avenue and University Avenue at approximately 3 a.m. on Monday. The owner told police the car was parked in an alley but he found the rear driver's side window had been broken and items that were stored in the trunk had been moved to the back seat. He told officers that nothing appeared to be missing.
"The owner then drove his vehicle a short distance and parked it to load some items inside," police said in a statement issued Tuesday. "The trunk was opened and a male suspect was located inside. The trunk was closed, trapping the male inside, and police were called."
A suspect was arrested without incident and officers seized a screwdriver and a hammer multi-tool.
Joseph Hanlon, 29, from Windsor, is charged with mischief under $5,000, and possession of break and enter tools.
