She says when the employee asked him to leave, he refused, and police were called.
Gauthier says the man refused to leave when asked by police and was arrested and charged the 53-year-old with mischief, obstruction of a peace officer and trespassing.
She adds the man is to appear in Elliot Lake court on July 7th.
