A Calgary man who claimed his neck was sliced by barbed wire on a popular mountain biking trail west of the city and then asked for financial donations online has turned himself in after RCMP issued an arrest warrant. "There was no intentional putting up of barbed wire across the bike trail to hurt or injure cyclists." He said they left his bike on the trail and when they returned the next day to retrieve it, the bike was gone. In June, he launched a separate GoFundMe campaign asking for money to help get his chihuahua back, saying the pet had escaped his home and had been impounded by the City of Calgary. A screenshot shows a GoFundMe campaign shared from Stelianos Psaroudakis's Facebook account in May 2016 to raise funds to help 'rebuild Fort McMurray.'
