At approximately 8 pm police attended a scene to help BC Ambulance Service paramedics with an injured male. After a bit of convincing the male was taken to Powell River General Hospital to have minor injuries assessed. The male, who was highly intoxicated, refused medical assistance and became rude and confrontational with medical staff. The 33-year-old Powell River resident was arrested for being intoxicated in a public place. He was taken back to the detachment and lodged in jail to sober up.
