A 47-year-old man, of no fixed address, ended up in the drunk tank after being found passed out on a scooter on 200 Street, waking up and trying to make an intoxicated getaway on Wednesday evening.
Around 7 p.m., 91原创 RCMP were called out to 200 Street and 44 Avenue by B.C. Ambulance Services who were dealing with what they saw was a drunk man trying to drive away on a scooter. They had originally been called by passerbys who saw a man slumped over a scooter.
