Man wanted for assault in Chatham a decade ago is arrested in North Bay
It took more than 10 years, but the long arm of the law has finally caught up with a 37-year-old man who was wanted in connection with an assault in Chatham.
Chatham-Kent police said they issued a warrant for the man's arrest at the end of November in 2012 after they were called to investigate an assault complaint on Pearl Crescent in Chatham and couldn't locate the suspect.
Officers said they got a call from the North Bay Police Service just after 11:15 a.m. Thursday, notifying them that they had the man in their custody.
A 37-year-old North Bay man was charged with assault and later released with conditions and a future court date.

Man wanted for leaving stolen car running in CK carpool lot arrested almost five years later
Chatham-Kent police were also able to clear a second long-standing warrant off their books when police in the Strathroy area gave them a call on Thursday.
The case goes back to April 12, 2018, when CK police were called to investigate an abandoned running car in a carpool area on Kent Bridge Road in Howard Township.
Officers learned that the vehicle had been reported stolen from Hamilton a day earlier, but no suspects were located in the area, so they examined the vehicle and collected some DNA evidence.
Investigators were able to use that evidence to identify a suspect and they issued a warrant for his arrest, but he didn't turn up until CK police got a call from the Strathroy-Caradoc Police Service just after noon on Thursday, advising they had the man in custody.
A 25-year-old Munsee-Delaware man was arrested and charged with possession of stolen property and was later released from custody with conditions and a future court date.
