A local man faces charges after walking out of the back door of a Chatham home last night and right into police custody Thursday night.
At 11:45 p.m., police responded to Wedgewood Avenue in Chatham for a disturbance.
Officers arrived at the woman’s residence to investigate the disturbance. When officers knocked on the door, the man attempted to flee out the back door but was met by waiting officers.
The man was bound by an undertaking issued just four days prior, and two probation orders issued on May 29 and Aug. 23 respectively, with conditions not to communicate or be within 100 metres of the woman who lived in the residence.
The officers also believed the woman was allowing the man to stay at the residence despite the orders.
A 46-year-old Chatham-Kent man is charged with two counts of failing to comply with an undertaking and four counts of failing to comply with a probation order. He was transported to police headquarters and held pending a bail hearing.
A 44-year-old Chatham woman was charged with two counts of facilitating a breach. She was arrested and released with a future court date.
