Northern Ont. suspect shoved blanket into a toilet, peed on the floor, spat at staff
A 41-year-old from Elliot Lake is facing even more charges after behaving very badly after being arrested on outstanding warrants.
The incident began Oct. 1 when Ontario Provincial Police responded to a call on Beckett Boulevard in Elliot Lake.
"At approximately 8 p.m., police attended the residence and were met by an individual who was requesting a ride to southern Ontario," police said in a news release Thursday.
"Investigation determined the individual had outstanding warrants and was subsequently arrested. The accused was later transported to Blind River detachment and held for bail court."
That's when the out-of-control behaviour began. First, the suspect shoved a blanket into a toilet and began peeing on the floor.

"The accused continually spat at staff, urinated on the floor and threw food all over the cell walls," police said.
"On Oct. 2 … at approximately 12:30 p.m., East Algoma's special constable attended the cell area and was spat on in the face."
The Elliot Lake resident is now charged with mischief, assaulting police, failing to attend court and failing to comply with an appearance notice to be fingerprinted.
The accused appeared in bail court in the Ontario Court of Justice on Oct. 2 and was remanded into custody.
