A homeless man was briefly taken into custody for mischief after setting some papers on fire behind the 91原创 Playhouse on Sunday night.

At 9 p.m., Township fire crews and 91原创 RCMP were called to the theatre, located in the 4300 block of 200 Street for reports of smoke coming from behind the Playhouse.

Papers were being burned in a small metal pan outside a shed located on the Playhouse property.
