Drunken scrap leads to mischief charges
Chatham-Kent police say two men may have agreed to throw down at one another recently, but that didn’t involve assaulting each other’s cars.
Back on April 22, police were called to a residence in Camden Township for an assault investigation. It turns out two men had been texting back and forth and it led to a mutually agreed upon fight.
The two, under the influence of alcohol, fought. After the fight, police say one of them opted to smash the driver’s-side mirror and then hop on the roof of the other’s vehicle.
On Monday morning, a 30-year-old Thamesville man turned himself into police to answer to mischief charges.
Well, that doesn’t happen every day
Police tracked down a suspect on Monday who was wanted in connection to a strange incident involving a vehicle striking a building last fall.
The incident took place back in October in Wallaceburg. But the issue began months earlier when the suspect became bound by specific conditions as part of a domestic incident.
But on Oct. 19, police say the man called them to claim the victim from the May incident had tried to run him over on James Street in Wallaceburg. A vehicle had run into a building nearby.
However, police say video surveillance footage revealed that the accused was a passenger in the vehicle that backed into the building. He got out and fled on foot.
He remained at large until Monday, when Walpole Island police tracked him down.
A Wallaceburg man, 29, faces breach of recognizance charges.
