While responding, police officers were told the man was reportedly smashing glass at the neighbouring Ramada Hotel, where he allegedly activated the Ramada鈥檚 fire alarm and set off the stolen fire extinguisher.

鈥淎 search of the suspect incidental to his arrest yielded suspected drugs and drug paraphernalia."

The suspect, a 33-year-old 91大黄鸭 man of no fixed address, was expected to appear in court Monday.

He faces several potential charges., said O'Donaghey.
