The CBC reports on holiday celebrations: Tin Man assaulted by Scarecrow on Halloween, police allege
On Halloween, South Simcoe police allege a man dressed as the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz was assaulted by a suspect dressed as The Scarecrow, who fled the scene with the Cowardly Lion.
…Three women dressed as, obviously, Dorothy, Glinda the Good Witch and the Wicked Witch of the East, told police that The Scarecrow had punched the Tin Man.
The Tin Man was treated for minor injuries — scratches or a dent, perhaps?
“Turns out the Tin Man didn’t have the heart to lay charges against his friend, and refused to tell the officers anything,” police said in a news release.
Police believe alcohol was involved.
Every so often you would get to write a crime report that would spread to all of the neighboring jurisdictions.

This is why shift supervisors have a Breathalyzer available – for officers filing reports like this. [No, doughnuts do not ferment in your stomach and produce alcohol…]
