Police in Sarnia have arrested a man on numerous charges and turned him over to immigration authorities.
Sarnia officers, along with agents from the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), arrested the 28-year-old man on Thursday at the Inn of the Good Shepherd.
The suspect was previously arrested on July 2 for causing a disturbance, mischief, and obstructing an officer, but was released the next day on a personal recognizance bail.
Police say since then, the suspect has allegedly caused issues in places where the homeless population congregated. As a result, the CBSA was brought in.

"[The suspect] was arrested by members of the Sarnia Police Service under the authority of section 55 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act."
