Man accused of trying to urinate on strangers arrested for a third time

A man arrested almost two weeks ago for allegedly exposing himself and trying to urinate on strangers in Guelph has been arrested for a third time.

On May 16, the Guelph Police Service received several calls about a man approaching people downtown. They were told he was trying to urinate on people and attempted to grab women while touching himself.

A 26-year-old man was located and then arrested for committing and indecent act and mischief. He was released with orders not to be downtown between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m.

Last Saturday, a witness told police they had seen the man sitting on a planter at Wyndham Street North and Macdonell Street around 12:15 a.m.

He was once again arrested for failing to comply with an undertaking and held for a bail hearing. He was released and scheduled to appear in court on June 27.

On Tuesday, at around 6:45 p.m., staff at a downtown business said a suspicious man was harassing customers and employees. They also said he followed a woman as she tried to cross the street.

When officers arrived, they arrested the man near Wyndham Street North and Woolwich Street. He was charged again with failing to comply with an undertaking.
