An Elliot Lake man is facing multiple charges after an early morning complaint Thursday on Highland Place.
At around 5:30 a.m., Ontario Provincial Police were told a man was slumped over the steering wheel of a blue minivan while the motor was running.
Arriving officers tried to speak with the man, but they say he ignored them while dancing to music inside the vehicle.
“He then proceeded to urinate all over the steering wheel and driver's seat area,” OPP said in a news release.
Officers say the man continued to be uncooperative, but eventually they were able to get inside the vehicle and arrest the suspect.
“In his possession was suspected Fentanyl, crack cocaine, and crack pipes,” OPP allege. “There was also an open bottle of rum and cans of beer, both empty and full inside the van.”
Kevin Mikkelsen, 49, from Elliot Lake was charged with:
- Operation while impaired - alcohol and drugs
- Operation while impaired - blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)
- Have care or control of vehicle or boat with cannabis readily available
- Have care or control of vehicle or boat with cannabis in open original packaging
- Possession of a Schedule I Substance - methamphetamine
- Possession of a Schedule I Substance - opioid (other than heroin)
In addition, the minivan was impounded.
None of the allegations have been tested in court and the accused is considered innocent unless proven guilty.
