The Huron County OPP have laid 19 charges after a transient person broke and entered a Bayfield Road motel in Goderich last Friday.
At around 10:05 am police were called to the scene and found a male had been sleeping in one of the rooms and had not paid for it.
Further inspection revealed they had forced their way in the room through a window.
The suspect departed prior to police arrival but photos from motel staff allowed police to arrest them later that day.
A 32-year-old male of no fixed address has received charges including break and enter, 5 counts of possession of a firearm & ammunition while prohibited, and 6 of failing to comply with a probation order.
They were remanded into custody with an April 4th court date in Goderich.
