Barrie police are commending a resident for keeping their doors locked and not confronting an unknown, reportedly intoxicated man banging on their front door.
Police say the John Street homeowner contacted the authorities Monday morning to report the situation, adding the man refused to leave.
After officers arrived, police say the man's behaviour became increasingly unpredictable and uncooperative 'due to his extreme level of impairment.'
Officers arrested the 22-year-old individual for being intoxicated in a public place, noting they believed he posed a risk to the public and to himself.
He was held at Barrie Police Headquarters until he was deemed safe to be released.
