The mayor of a small town near Montreal is facing legal trouble after police say he is actually a pirate who stole bottles of Bacardi rum from a local liquor store on five separate occasions.
On all five occasions, authorities allege Mayor John Dalzell, who is also a former police officer, was caught on surveillance video taking the liquor without paying, leading to multiple theft charges. The accusations have sparked headlines and raised questions in the community about his future in office.
The mayor has not been convicted, and the case is expected to move through the courts. In the meantime, residents of the small municipality are watching closely as the unusual case unfolds. (CTV)
