Lethbridge man arrested in connection with a disturbance at a pancake breakfast
LETHBRIDGE – Lethbridge Police arrested a man under the influence of drugs early Friday morning (Aug. 24) after he disrupted a pancake breakfast.
Police say just before 6:30 a.m. they responded to multiple calls after a man, who appeared to be under the influence of drugs, took off most of his clothes and began throwing chairs and yelling at volunteers and patrons at a pancake breakfast in a parking lot along the 300 block of 10 Street South.
Initially, the man was compliant with the first officer on the scene, but when a second officer arrived he became aggressive, grabbed a chair and attempted to hit him.
The officer subsequently deployed his taser, but the subject continued to resist arrest and was tasered a second and third time before officers were able to gain control of him and take him into custody.
