"Upon arrival, a female suspect had fled the scene on foot after an altercation inside the business," said Stanley. "There was a short foot pursuit and the suspect ultimately entered into a residence on Ontario Street. Officers then set up containment and ultimately ended up taking the suspect into custody around 10:30 a.m."

Stanley said there was a weapon involved but they're not saying what type.

There were no injuries to anyone including the accused.

He said the woman is set to appear in Sarnia court on a number of criminal charges Wednesday.

Police expect to release further information Wednesday.
