On Wednesday, police received a call from a concerned citizen regarding a male near her property who she believed to be suspicious.
Upon police arrival, the 38-year-old Chatham-Kent man was identified and arrested for one count of theft.
From seven to one
After receiving a report there were seven people fighting and screaming, what police actually found was quite different.
Shortly before midnight, officers arrived on the scene of a call on Wallace Street in Wallaceburg to discover one very drunk man, police say. He was belligerent and refused to leave when asked to do so.
An 18-year-old Wallaceburg man was issued a provincial offence notice for failing to leave when directed, and spent the night in the drunk tank.
