SIMCOE The COVID-19 pandemic at times makes the news too much to bear.

But in Norfolk County this week the news was more “bareable.”

On Tuesday, Norfolk OPP arrested a 35-year-old naked man for breaking and entering. And, on Wednesday, police arrested a 31-year-old naked man who was drunk.

Police said they responded to a 911 call at 4:14 a.m. Tuesday for a break-in in progress at a home in the north end of Simcoe.

They said the naked suspect ran away after being confronted by the home’s occupants. While searching the area, police got a second 911 about a break-in attempt by the same suspect.

The man is charged with break and enter, destroying and damaging property (mischief) and three counts of trespassing at night.

Then, at about 5 p.m. on Wednesday, police got a call from a resident in the former Charlotte Township after a naked man was spotted rolling around on their front lawn.

Norfolk OPP Const. Ed Sanchuk said the man ran away when police arrived.

“However, he was taken into custody without incident.”

The man is charged with public intoxication.
