Woman accused of breaching conditions
A 30-year-old woman is in more trouble with police after she allegedly spent some time living with a man who she was supposed to stay away from.
Chatham-Kent police said the woman was released from custody with several conditions back in May -- one of those conditions was that she was to notify police if she changed her address and another was that she was not supposed to communicate with a specific Bothwell man.

The accused was arrested, charged with two counts of failing to comply with her release conditions, held for a bail hearing, and later released with a future court date.
