A Ridgetown woman is facing charges after allegedly storming into a home and accosting a woman and her grandchild.
The Chatham-Kent Police Service said on Tuesday shortly before 5:45 p.m., a woman entered a home on George Street in Ridgetown without invitation and began arguing with the homeowner. Another woman attempted to intervene, but the intruder grabbed her by the arm and shoved her aside.
The female intruder continued to follow the victim and her grandchild around the house while yelling, before finally leaving. However, she returned with a baseball bat and threatened to harm the homeowner.
As a result, a 43-year-old Ridgetown woman was arrested and is now charged with being in a dwelling unlawfully, possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose, uttering threats, assault with a weapon and two counts of assault. She has since been released from custody with conditions and a future court date.
