The Chatham-Kent police have arrested a man in connection with a theft investigation in Chatham.
Around 2:45 a.m. this morning, a CP Rail employee reported that a switch wire had been cut and copper wiring valued at approximately $300 had been stolen. With the switch being damaged, it could cause trains to stop abruptly. Through investigation, police observed a bush directly behind the switch box leading to a wheat field which had a path pushed down to allow someone to enter or exit the area. Officers checked the path and found the man lying on his stomach trying to hide.
Upon being searched incident to arrest, the man was found to be in possession of bolt cutters, three knives and methamphetamine. Officers further learned that he was currently bound by a curfew, condition not to possess weapons or drugs.
The 23-year-old Chatham man has been charged with mischief endangering life, theft under $5000, possession of break-in instruments, trespassing, drug possession and three counts of failing to comply. He has been held in custody pending a bail hearing.
With complete disregard to the danger he caused by damaging that switch box, should he not be charged with attempted murder!?
Why is it that these losrs think that he world owns them anything . Get yourself together , get a job and start being a productive part of society . We owe you nothing . evey day it cost tax payers millions of dollars , being it at the courts , jails , rehab , welfare , mothers allowance etc.
you cant charge someone with attempted murder unless you can prove he was actually attempting to murder someone with intent.
Once he has his bail hearing he will be out with more 'conditions' and he will break those again too. It's a never-ending cycle. Smh!!
It would be involuntary manslaughter, but yeah, should be charged-and put in involuntary rehab!
