Police make four alcohol-related arrests
Four people are facing charges after allegedly having a little too much to drink over the weekend.
And for one of them, even just a single drink would have been too much.
Chatham-Kent police said they arrested a 50-year-old man at around 12:30 a.m. Monday after he was allegedly intoxicated on St. Clair Street in Chatham.
Police said they made the arrest after they were called in to assist paramedics. Officers allegedly learned that the man had been drinking at a nearby establishment even though he was under a probation order not to buy, possess, or consume any alcohol.
Police said once he was cleared by EMS, the man was taken into custody and charged with violating his probation order. He was released once he sobered up.
Alcohol was also a factor in three other cases in Chatham-Kent over the past 24 hours.
Officers said they arrested a man who was allegedly walking down the middle of the road near a residence in Romney Township Sunday afternoon -- he was charged with public intoxication.
A 30-year-old man was arrested and charged with the same offence after allegedly refusing to leave the Casino in Chatham Sunday night.
And a 33-year-old man from Pain Court was arrested outside of a home in Chatham early Monday morning after police were called to a "disturbance." He was also charged with being intoxicated in a public place and was taken into custody until he sobered up.
