Man goes back to the same place after being told to leave
A 30-year-old Chatham man spent some time in police custody early Tuesday morning after he made two trips back to the same residence after a disturbance.
Chatham-Kent police said they were initially called to the address in Chatham just before 10 p.m. Monday and learned that a man and a woman had been arguing there when the situation escalated to the point where the woman was afraid of the man.
Police said the man left the residence before officers arrived, but they were called back to the same place after learning that the disturbance started up again when the man came back.
CK police said at that time, they spoke to the man, adding that he agreed to leave the residence for the night and stay somewhere else.
However, police said they were called to the same residence a third time at around 2 a.m. because the man had come by again and was "creating another disturbance."
Police said when they showed up the third time, they arrested a 30-year-old Chatham man for breaching the peace.
He was taken to police headquarters and was later released.

He was later released with conditions and a future court date.
