Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officers executing a warrant in Guelph Thursday got a little more than they bargained for, when a man tried to escape arrest by climbing down an apartment building. The incident happened around 11:30 a.m. at a Willow Road apartment building, where a man was wanted on multiple outstanding warrants. As officers made their way to the suspect’s fourth floor unit, he ran to the balcony and climbed over, successfully lowering himself down to an unlocked second floor unit. The suspect ran through the unit, as a man and his two children were home, and made it out the building. A brief struggle ensued and the man was arrested shortly after. Police did not specify what the suspect was charged with prior to the attempted escape. A 33-year-old Guelph man faces new charges of resisting arrest, being unlawfully in a dwelling and failing to attend court.
