Man arrested for causing a disturbance at Chatham hospital
A 31-year-old Chatham man spent some more time in police custody Sunday afternoon after he allegedly caused a disruption at the hospital in Chatham.
Chatham-Kent police said they were called to the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance on Grand Avenue West at 4:45 p.m. Sunday for a disturbance and learned that the man who was causing issues had already left by the time they arrived.
Police said they later found him walking on Emma Street and learned that he had been bound by a probation order that required him to stay away from the hospital unless he had to go there for an emergency or an appointment.
His visit earlier that day didn't meet either of those conditions, so he was arrested, taken back to police headquarters, and charged with failing to comply with his probation order.
The man was later released with conditions and a future court date.
