Salmon Arm: At 4:45pm a complainant reported an unwanted person refusing to leave a local church premise. The man was trying to sleep outside the church. Police attended and advised the man he had to move along and off the property. The man pointed out of a sign that read Everyone Welcome and believed the sign was misleading due to church representatives and police requesting him to leave as he was no longer welcome. Police spent more time with the man explaining why he could not be there, and the man was eventually cooperative in moving along.
