Police received several calls about an intoxicated man causing issues in the area of Yorkshire Street North and Cambridge Street. As detailed in a Guelph Police news release, he reportedly knocked over a basketball net at a home, then threatened to assault the homeowner and his family. The man walked away before climbing on the roof of a car and jumping up and down, causing about $1,000 in damage.

Police found the man in the area. He approached officers with his fists clenched and attempted to strike one of them before being taken into custody.

An 18-year-old Guelph man is charged with mischief, uttering threats, assault police and public intoxication.
