A Merritt man was arrested after allegedly causing a disturbance at a Sicamous gas station, where police say he was punching his dashboard and throwing items from his truck.

Police said the 31-year-old man, believed to be under the influence of unknown drugs, was found inside his parked vehicle at a local gas station.

“The man was actively punching the dash of his vehicle and throwing items out of the open window,” said Sgt. Murray McNeil, spokesperson for the Sicamous RCMP.
