ASSAULT INCIDENTS, THREE CHARGED

The police responded to two separate assault incidents, resulting in three individuals facing charges.

In a separate incident, a woman entered a business on Queen Street in Chatham seeking help after being assaulted with bear spray by two unknown individuals. Police located the suspects, both under 17, and charged a 15-year-old male with assault with a weapon, failure to comply with an undertaking, and administering a noxious substance. He was held in custody pending a bail hearing. A 16-year-old male was also charged with assault with a weapon and administering a noxious substance. Still, he was released on an undertaking with conditions and a future court date.

The police made 35 arrests during the past seven days, targeting individuals wanted for outstanding warrants, failure to comply, and domestic-related offences. The arrests were carried out in multiple operations, ensuring compliance with legal orders and addressing public safety concerns.

MAN ARRESTED FOR THREATS

The police arrested a 39-year-old Chatham man after he allegedly drove a scooter into a vehicle and threatened the owner at a local business.

WOMAN HELD ON OUTSTANDING WARRANT

Sarnia Police notified the CK police that they had a 42-year-old woman in custody who CKPS wanted for multiple offences. The woman was transported to Chatham-Kent Police headquarters, where she was held in custody on the strength of the warrant.
