October 19, 2018 4:10am
The Owen Sound Police Service had a bomb threat on their hands for a short time Thursday.
The Communications Centre received a call shortly after 1 p.m. from a man demanding he be transferred to another agency.
Before a dispatcher could assist him, he became extremely irate and made comments about an emergency situation, him becoming Rambo, and that there was a bomb threat.
Police quickly identified the accused, who was found walking along 6th Street East. He was arrested, and police confirmed that he did not have any explosives.
A 48-year-old man was charged with public mischief and held for a bail hearing Friday.
