📰The Big Story
📰 The Big Story: The Curfew-Breaking Nap
In the "You can't make this up" department: Chatham-Kent Police responded to a report of an unresponsive male in a Blenheim restaurant washroom late Wednesday. Officers confirmed the 22-year-old from Thamesville did not need medical help—he was just hanging out. Unfortunately, he was also bound by a release order and was violating his curfew, leading to a quick trip from the washroom to the police station
