Stripping sailor turned over to captain
VICTORIA, British Columbia, (UPI) -- Canadian police said a rowdy French sailor who drunkenly shed his clothes in public twice was turned over to his commanding officer.
Victoria police said there were few problems among the 5,000 sailors visiting the city for the Canadian Navy's centennial, but one French sailor had a bit too much to drink and took off his uniform in the lobby of a hotel, CanWest News Service reported Thursday.
Deputy Police Chief John Ducker said officers escorted the sailor back to his ship where he again slipped out of his clothing while waiting to board. Ducker said the ship's captain was standing behind him during the second incident.
"The punishment a sailor would get from his commanding officer is much worse than anything we can do," police spokesman Sgt. Grant Hamilton said.
