What started out as a bizarre case of public disturbance in Penticton on May 21 has resulted in a man wanted on a warrant being arrested.

Kristopher Marsel, a resident living in a downstairs apartment on Ellis Street, answered a FaceTime call at approximately 8:30 p.m. from his upstairs neighbour, only to see her recording a man outside jumping on the trunk of Marselsa国际传媒檚 car.

sa国际传媒淲hen I opened (my phone) I saw a very high man on top of the trunk of my car acting like an ape,sa国际传媒� said Marsel. sa国际传媒淪o I went upstairs to my neighboursa国际传媒檚 apartment. He didnsa国际传媒檛 run off (at first) because of me looking (out the window) but then he started to run away.sa国际传媒�

His car was parked in his designated space off of the back alley and he did not know why it was targeted.

At that point, Marsel believed it was safe enough outside to inspect his car and see if the man had caused any damage. This is when he observed and recorded the man a short distance away in the back alley, acting oddly.

Marsel said one of his neighbours had called the police while this incident was taking place and officers quickly arrived, apprehending the man.

According to Const. James Grandy, the man sa国际传媒渨as arrested for causing a disturbance by being apparently intoxicated.sa国际传媒� Officers also learned he has an outstanding warrant out of Calgary, Alta.

Marsel was happy to learn his and his neighbourssa国际传媒� vigilance helped get an offender off the streets. He said his car did not sustain any damage during the incident.

sa国际传媒淚 just want to say how cool it is to have all my neighbours look out for each other, we did good,sa国际传媒� said Marsel.
