Domestic leads to collision and arrest
A verbal argument that escalated has led to charges against a Dresden woman.
Chatham-Kent police were called to a residence on Wednesday morning for a domestic disturbance. A couple was arguing when a woman allegedly smashed items in the home.
The man left, but police say she followed him and rear-ended his truck with her van, and continued to follow him and hit his truck several times, causing her airbags to deploy.
The 47-year-old woman was placed under arrest, but she allegedly resisted officers. She's charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and resisting arrest. She was released with a future court date.
