Man Popped For Canoeing While Drunk: A man in Canada is being investigated for “impaired operation of a vessel” after getting rowdy recently in a canoe while drunk. Officers say they were called out to the incident after getting reports of an intoxicated guy in a canoe. Cops say the 51-year-old man who hasn’t been named “refused to comply with directions,” but eventually made his way to a dock and “hid under there for several minutes again refusing to comply.” An officer ended up having to go into the water and get him. The guy was eventually arrested and later released after he sobered up. He’ll have to appear in court on September 19th.

Oil Activists Interrupt Wimbledon Twice By Throwing Puzzle Pieces, Confetti: Activists from Just Stop Oil interrupted not one, but two Wimbledon matches yesterday. In the first incident, two people ran onto the court during Grigor Dimitrov and Sho Shimabukuro’s match, sprinkling orange confetti and jigsaw puzzle pieces all over the court. One person was quickly nabbed by security, while the other sat cross-legged on the ground before being taken away. Then after a short rain delay, it happened again on the same court. Katie Boulter and Daria Saville’s match was interrupted when a single protestor ran out throwing orange confetti and puzzle pieces. After a pair of tweets from Wimbledon acknowledging the incidents, the London Metropolitan Police have confirmed that two men and a woman are now in custody. Why the protest? Just Stop Oil posted a statement saying the activists at Wimbledon were “demanding that the UK government halts all new licenses and consents for oil, gas, and coal.”
