‘Man found dancing and urinating inside minivan’

That’s from the headline of a news report out of Ontario, Canada. The same news was captioned in another paper with this headline:

'Dancing' suspect charged with impaired driving

Here’s what the latter report tells us about what really happened:

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.

The man continued to be uncooperative, the OPP said, but eventually entry was gained and the man safely arrested.

“In his possession was suspected fentanyl, crack cocaine, and crack pipes,” police said. “There was also an open bottle of rum and cans of beer, both empty and full, inside the van.”

The minivan was subsequently towed and impounded.

Kevin Mikkelsen, 49, from Elliot Lake was charged with impaired driving over 80 mgs, driving with pot readily available, and possession of hard drugs.
