Two men arrested for breaching release conditions
A 25-year-old Chatham man and a 43-year-old Chatham man are both in more trouble with the law after they allegedly disobeyed their release conditions over the past couple of days.
Chatham-Kent police said they received a tip Sunday afternoon that the 25-year-old man was breaching his house arrest condition over the weekend, so when officers caught up with him Monday afternoon, they arrested him and charged him accordingly.
He was taken into custody pending a bail hearing and is now set to remain in custody until December 3, 2020.
In the second case, an officer on general patrol reportedly saw a man walking on St. George Street in Chatham Monday night who was wanted for failing to comply with his release conditions and attempted to arrest him, but he was able to evade officers for a while.
Police said they picked him up on Park Avenue East and took him into custody.
He was charged with five counts of failing to comply with his release conditions and was later released pending a future court date.
