In other crime news, Albert Henry Guzman, 23 was arrested Tuesday and charged with disturbing the peace and vagrancy, in connection with an incident that occurred on the St. John ferry on Monday, April 13, 2015, police said.

A witness said Guzman harassed a minor that was on the St. John ferry and the VITRAN public bus, according to police.

According to the preliminary investigation, Guzman invited the minor to play video games at his house and continued to speak to the minor despite the fact that the minor was ignoring him.

The case is currently under investigation by the Investigation Bureau, police said.
