Vernon police officers had to round up a streaker Wednesday afternoon.

At about 12:55 p.m., the detachment received a report of a man with no clothes on wandering around 25th Avenue and 32nd Street.

“He was apprehended and taken to the hospital to be reviewed by medical professionals,” said Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy.

It’s not known why the individual was nude.

“He wasn’t exactly forthcoming with that information,” said Noseworthy.

No charges will be laid against the 19-year-old man.

Vehicle strikes Falkland house

No one was injured after a vehicle struck a house in Falkland early Wednesday morning.

The incident occurred when a vehicle left Highway 97, hit a pole and landed up against a house.

“It damaged the front porch of the house,” said Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy, with the RCMP.

“It’s believed driver inattentiveness played a role.”

As a result of the accident, the highway was closed down until just after 9 a.m. and electricity was knocked out to Falkland.
