Woman facing mischief charges

A 31-year-old woman is facing mischief charges after an incident in Chatham.

Police were called to a residence on Hillyard Street around 7:45 a.m. on Thursday for a report of a woman trying to enter a home.

When officers arrived, a woman matching the description was said to be found actively trying to pull down a damaged window screen.

She was arrested and taken to police headquarters, where she is being held pending a bail hearing.

Man arrested for bail violation

Just before 10 p.m. on Thursday, police in Wallaceburg spotted a man walking on James Street with a woman he was not allowed to communicate with.

CK police said this was part of release conditions following a prior incident.

When the officers attempted to take the man into custody, he became uncooperative and resisted arrest. According to police, that led to a struggle during which both he and the arresting officer sustained minor injuries.

Medical attention was not required.

The 25-year-old Chatham-Kent man was charged with resisting a peace officer and failing to comply with his release order.

He was taken to police headquarters, where he is being held pending a bail hearing.
