Man charged with assault
Chatham-Kent police have charged a 50-year-old man with assault after he got into a verbal altercation with a security officer.
The incident happened Monday morning at an unnamed medical facility.
Police received a call about a man causing a disturbance. Police were also told that the man was not allowed at the facility, unless for a medical emergency or scheduled appointment, due to court-imposed conditions.
It's alleged the man became verbally aggressive towards a security officer, eventually making threatening gestures.
The suspect left, but officers quickly found and arrested him near the facility.
He's since been released from custody with a future court date.
