A Guelph man faces criminal charges after urinating inside a Guelph Transit bus Monday morning.

Approximately 7:35 a.m. a man boarded a bus in the west end through the back door. As the bus neared the stop at Imperial Road South and Paisley Road, the man walked toward the front of the bus and urinated on the fare box before exiting. The bus was taken out of service for cleaning.

Nearly two hours later, the same operator was driving a different bus when the same male boarded where he had previously got off. He refused to exit the bus and was located a short time later by officers.

A 33-year-old is charged with mischief under $5,000 and breaching a probation order. He was held for a bail hearing Wednesday.
