Man on house arrest spotted taking a cab
A 19-year-old Wallaceburg man who was supposed to stay at home has been arrested after police allegedly spotted him leaving a taxi cab near a restaurant on St. Clair Street in Chatham Wednesday afternoon.
Police said the man was released from court at the end of March with several conditions -- one of which was that he was supposed to remain in his residence at all times, except for medical emergencies or if he had an approved surety with him.
When police saw the man getting out of the cab, he wasn't abiding by those conditions.
As a result, the accused was arrested, charged, and taken into custody pending a bail hearing.
