A Chatham man has been arrested following an investigation into allegations of intimate partner violence.
Authorities claim the accused had assaulted and threatened to cause harm to the victim over the past several months.
The 38-year-old was arrested late Tuesday morning and was charged with assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm, two counts of assault and two counts of uttering threats to cause bodily harm. He was released with conditions, including not going to any place the victim is known to work, live, or attend school.
Shortly before 10:30 last night, authorities say the accused returned to the woman’s home. Police were called and arrested the man for a second time. He has now also been charged with failing to comply with an undertaking and was held in custody for a bail hearing.
