You can’t do that in public
Chatham-Kent police put a local man behind bars after he was spotted doing some weird stuff on Tecumseh Road in Chatham early Monday morning.
Police got the call shortly after 6:15 a.m., as someone reported a man was pleasuring himself and smoking what appeared to be meth.
Officers arrived on the scene and arrested the man.
A 49-year-old Chatham-Kent man is charged with committing an indecent act. He was transported to police headquarters and held pending a bail hearing.
Youth charged with assault
It took a while for the information to come out, and a bit longer for police to finish their investigation, but a Chatham teen faces assault charges stemming from a Nov. 8 altercation.
The investigation began Nov. 13, when police responded to an address on Queens Line to hear the details.
The officer discovered that on Nov. 8, two male youths argued in a parking lot at their school in Chatham. The victim disengaged and walked away, but the other youth followed and physically assaulted the victim, police say.
On Monday, at 4:45 p.m., police charged a 17-year-old youth with assault.
Family feud
A resident of the former Howard Township faces charges after he allegedly got into a spat with his father.
Police say they attended a home on Beech Street in Bothwell at 10:25 a.m. Monday after a report of a disturbance between the man and his father. In fact, there were multiple calls to police in regard to the matter.
A 33-year-old Howard Township man faces a charge of breaching the peace.
