Innisfail RCMP have charged a 19-year-old man after finding him asleep at the wheel of a stolen vehicle.

When paramedics arrived, they assessed the male and determined he needed medical attention. He was taken to hospital.

RCMP then determined that the truck he’d been sitting in was stolen. The male was arrested and held at the hospital until he was ready to go before a judge.
