That escalated quickly
A man faces charges after Chatham-Kent police say he roughed up a business owner and later spat on a police special constable.

The victim sustained minor injuries that did not require medical attention.
Officers located the suspect nearby and made their arrest.
While in custody, police say the man became irate and spat on a special constable.
A Chatham-Kent man, 34, is charged with assault and assaulting a peace officer.
Intimate partner violence
Despite being under orders to not go near his ex, police say a Chatham man is now facing charges, including two counts of assault.
Police say on Tuesday evening, shortly after 8 p.m., they were called to a Chatham residence. Two people had been bound by court orders to not go near each other, due to a prior encounter of the former partners.
However, despite being told to stay away from the woman’s residence, it appears the man ignored that order.
They argued; it got violent and the man left, police say, before officers arrived.
Police were able to locate the man, and they made the arrest.
A Chatham man, 38, faces two counts of assault, one of uttering threats to cause death, and failing to comply with a release order.
