Freaking out over a barking dog has landed a Wallaceburg man with a number of charges.
Chatham-Kent police say they got the call shortly before 8:30 p.m. Tuesday night, over a report of a neighbour squabble in an apartment building on Wallace Street in Wallaceburg.
Through investigation, police learned one man was upset with the neighbour’s dog barking while on the balcony. Police say the man used a large wooden stick to beat on the balcony door. He yelled derogatory comments and threatened to harm the neighbour. Pieces of the stick broke off and hit the dog.
But he wasn’t done. Police say the man went into the hallway, up to the other tenant’s apartment door and began kicking it and yelling. The kicking caused damage to the door.
Officers arrived on scene and arrested the man.
It was also learned the man was wanted on an outstanding warrant for failing to attend court.
A 45-year-old Wallaceburg man was charged with uttering threats and mischief.
