The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary says a 26-year-old man advised officers early this morning there was a warrant out for his arrest — and that he wanted to turn himself in.
He was arrested and held for court.
Notes the RNC's overnight report: "The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary would be more than happy to help any other persons who wish to turn themselves in for outstanding warrants of arrest and encourage persons to do so."
