A man and woman will have their days in court following two separate domestic incidents in Chatham-Kent on Tuesday.
Yesterday morning, a woman and her common-law husband began arguing in their kitchen. Things escalated and she wound up throwing a kitchen knife at the man, narrowly missing him, police say.
Officers responded. When they told the woman she was under arrest, police say she resisted and tried to flee.
A 23-year-old Dover Township woman is charged with assault with a weapon, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, and resisting a peace officer.
Also yesterday, a man and his ex-girlfriend began arguing in Chatham, and he assaulted her, police say.
The woman fled with their one-year-old child and locked herself and the infant in a car in the driveway. Police say the man followed, and began to threaten the woman and her family.
Officers arrived and slapped on the handcuffs.
The woman, who did not require medical attention, told the officers there was a history of domestic violence.
A 22-year-old Chatham man is charged with two counts of uttering threats and five counts of assault.
