What began as a wellness check in Chatham this week has landed a local man with charges.
Officers went to a Payne Street property following reports the man had made some concerning comments.
With more investigation, police say the man and a woman had been involved in a number of arguments over the past few days with the man allegedly repeatedly calling the woman. Authorities claim the man threatened to harm the woman and her pet and destroy her property.
The 33-year-old suspect has been arrested and is charged with criminal harassment and three counts of uttering threats.
He was taken to police headquarters and held for a bail hearing.
