Man arrested trying to get to mayor

Castanet Staff - Jul 27, 2011 / 2:06 pm 
An unidentified man was arrested Wednesday morning after he allegedly caused a disturbance inside Kelowna City Hall.  The man had moved to the second floor where he was apprehended.   The call came in saying the man was not cooperating with city staff and that he wanted to see the mayor. The incident occurred shortly before 11 a.m.  Mayor Sharon Shepherd was attending a ceremony at the 'Portraits of Honour National Tour' at the time of the disturbance.  Outside the hand-cuffed man was joking and cooperating with police as they put him into a cruiser.  RCMP say the man was intoxicated and has a history of mental illness.  Police are continuing to investigate.
