An argument turned violent near Chatham has led to charges for a Wallaceburg man.

Police were called to Centre Side Road shortly after 7:30 Monday morning and say a man and woman had been arguing while travelling in a vehicle. Authorities say a struggle ensued when the woman tried to call police.

Further investigation showed the man was on a conditional sentence order, prohibiting him from associating with the victim.

The 34-year-old Wallaceburg man has since been charged with two counts of assault.

He was held in custody for a bail hearing, then transferred to the Southwest Regional Detention Centre to await his next court appearance later this week.
