Man Arrested For Throwing Snowballs

By Patrick Sullivan | Jan. 15, 2019

Traverse City police arrested a man for throwing snowballs at people from the roof of a downtown building.

The 19-year-old suspect somehow gained access to the roof above the Whiting Hotel on Front Street Friday afternoon and began to throw snowballs at people, says Capt. Keith Gillis. Officers were called to the scene at 3:22pm after several people called 911; there were apparently no injuries.

It took officers about a half hour to talk the man off the roof, Gillis says. Once he came down, he was arrested for disorderly conduct and trespassing.
