BARRIE, Ont. - A man hiding behind a curtain in a Barrie, Ont., park was arrested following a domestic dispute early Friday morning.

City police officers were called at 2:20 a.m. regarding a man breaking into his ex-girlfriend's basement apartment. He had been kicked out and was trying to force his way back in through a window.

The man ran when police showed up, but was found a short distance away in a nearby park in the community north of Toronto.

Police said he was intoxicated and was trying to hide behind a curtain that was still attached to its curtain rod.

"Unfortunately for him, he was in the middle of the park with nothing else around him," police said.

A 27-year-old man was charged with domestic mischief. He was held until sober and released with a future court date.
