NEWS RELEASE
SOUTH SIMCOE POLICE
*************************
It was early on Saturday, October 31, 2015, around 1:00 a.m., officers were dispatched to the Stroud Arena for a fight call. When they arrived on scene, they were surprised to see a man in costume as the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz being treated by paramedics.
Three ladies, dressed as Dorothy, Glinda the Good Witch, and the Wicked Witch of the West, told the officer that the Tin Man had been punched by his friend the Scarecrow.
The Scarecrow didn't have the brains to stick around, and ran away with the Cowardly Lion.
Turns out the Tin Man didn't have the heart to lay charges against his friend, and refused to tell the officers anything. He was treated for minor injuries.
Officers believe alcohol was involved.
