Two people banned from communicating with each other arrested during a traffic stop
Two Chatham-Kent residents in their late 30s who had been ordered to stay away from each other are facing several charges after they were pulled over by police Monday morning.
Chatham-Kent police said the woman had been released from custody in February 2021 with conditions that included not associating with a specific man and not possessing any drug-related equipment.
The man had been released from court last month -- on October 24 -- with a condition that included not associating with the woman.
Police said despite those conditions, officers saw the woman and the man in a vehicle together at around 7:30 a.m. Monday.
Officers pulled the vehicle over and arrested both of the accused.
Police also allegedly found some suspected Oxycontin and some drug-related equipment on the woman when they searched her.
A 39-year-old Chatham-Kent woman was charged with two counts of failing to comply with a release order and one count each of driving under suspension and drug possession.
A 38-year-old Chatham man was charged with failing to comply with a release order.
Both of the accused were taken to police headquarters and were set to be held there pending a bail hearing.
