What started as a request for a man in trouble ended up leading to the capture of a wanted man.
Emergency teams went to an area of Arthur Street North and Macdonell Street around 6:10 p.m. Saturday. They arrived to find a man who seemed to have experienced a medical crisis.
He was treated by paramedics and later given the all-clear.
Guelph Police Service officers were also at the scene and spoke with the individual.
Investigators say it was later discovered that the man was wanted on outstanding warrants related to a pair of incidents that took place last Tuesday.
One occurred at a business on Silvercreek Parkway North around 8:40 p.m., where someone used counterfeit currency to pay for items.
The other took place at around 11:40 p.m. at an ATM vestibule on Speedvale Avenue East where a pellet was discharged inside, resulting in approximately $300 in damage.
The 40-year-old from Guelph was arrested and is facing multiple charges including mischief, weapons, and more. He was detained for a bail hearing.
