The arrest started to go sideways the moment officers engaged the young man with the backpack at the Kentucky Fried Chicken on 8th Street East.

It was Oct. 29 and the man was, according to staff, "very, very high."

The man appeared in provincial court by video from the Saskatoon Correctional Centre this morning. Prosecutor Frank Impey read the details from the police arrest report into the record for Judge Brent Klause.

When initially approached by officers, the man said he couldn't focus on the pending arrest because he was "busy building rockets."

Police asked him where he lived.

"In a carburetor," Impey said the man replied.

Then, "on the Apollo Five mission. Nebulis 5."

Police were able to get the man safely into the back of a cruiser. From the back seat, he began chanting, "gin and tonic, hickory sticks."

Finally, Impey said he proclaimed "Whoever put the toaster in my head is a f--king asshole."

The man was sentenced to six days, time served.
