A man faces charges after someone apparently tried to reach for a police officer’s handgun early this morning.
Chatham-Kent police say about 3 a.m., an officer saw a man riding a bike with no light on Grand Avenue East in Chatham. The officer stopped the man, learned he was bound by a curfew and went to place him under arrest.
That’s when he resisted, police say and grabbed the officer’s holster. That earned a dose of pepper spray.
Upon being searched, man was found to be in possession of methamphetamine.
A 40-year-old man of no fixed address is charged with breaching a probation order, resisting arrest, trying to disarm a police officer, failing to comply and drug possession.
He has a new address, jail, until his bail hearing at least.
