Man jailed for not having cat licence
Dan Smith was jailed Thursday for not having a Gatineau licence for a cat he says isn’t even his.
The 65-year-old retired refrigeration technician arrived at the Gatineau police station around 10 a.m.
“I want to get this over with,” Smith said.
“I’m turning myself in,” Smith told a woman at the front desk of the station. “I’m surrendering.”
Smith
has been chased for months by animal control officers and police in
Gatineau over a $276 charge — fine and court costs — after being found
guilty last summer of not having a licence for a cat, as required under
municipal bylaw. Continues here
