Man accused of threatening staff at Chatham business
A 34-year-old man of no fixed address is in trouble with the law after he allegedly threatened some staff members at a business in Chatham over the weekend.
Chatham-Kent police said the man attended a business on Bloomfield Road in Chatham multiple times Sunday morning and became aggressive when he was asked to leave because he was no longer welcomed.
At that point, the man also allegedly threatened staff members at the business.
Officers arrested the accused a short distance from the scene and was taken into custody.
He was charged with uttering threats and was later released pending a future court date.

Woman arrested twice in the same day
A 25-year-old woman who was released from custody late last week is facing more charges after a pair of arrests over the weekend.
Police said the woman was released from the court with several conditions last week Thursday -- one of which was that she was not supposed to attend a specific address on Bloomfield Road.
Despite that, officers allegedly found the woman on the property Sunday morning.
She was arrested and charged with failing to comply with her release conditions and then released from the court later in the day with conditions and a future court date.
The woman was arrested again Sunday night after police responded to a disturbance at a motel on Queens Line.
Police said their investigation showed that the woman had allegedly damaged an air conditioning unit and threatened some neighbours across the road, so she was arrested for a second time in the same day.
She was charged with mischief and uttering threats and was taken into custody pending a bail hearing.
