Bail violations
A family fracas wound up seeing two people arrested Tuesday morning in Chatham.
Police got the call mid-morning over a family dispute on Vanier Drive in Chatham. Officers arrived and found a man in the driveway of the home.
It turns out that a March 14 court order, the ink being only five days old, stated the fellow was to not be at that address. It was part of his release conditions. In fact, those conditions stated he was to not communicate with or even be near the resident. Plus he was supposed to reside at a specific address.
But, apparently, he could not stay away.
Police say investigation revealed the resident was allowing the man the man to communicate and reside with her knowing he was bound by conditions.
A 32-year-old Chatham-Kent man is charged with five counts of failing to comply with a release order. He was transported to police headquarters and held pending a bail hearing.
