Angry shopper

When approached by security, police say the male became aggressive and threatening.
The male fled the scene after a struggle with security.
He was later identified, located and arrested.
Police say the man was on conditions not to attend the Wal-Mart in Wallaceburg and had an outstanding warrant for failing to attend court.
A 30-year-old Wallaceburg man faces charges of Theft Under $5000, Possession Under $5000, Breach of Recognizance, Breach of Undertaking, Assault, Utter Threats and Escape Lawful Custody.
Plate problems
On Sunday afternoon, police pulled over a vehicle for a routine traffic stop, but the charges started flowing.
Police say the driver was found to have a suspended driver’s license, and his plates were not for that vehicle.
A 37-year-old man was arrested, the plates seized, and the vehicle towed.
