Man Charged For Making Threats Online

Threats posted on social media have led to charges for one man.

The Chatham-Kent Police Service said officers began an investigation on September 10 after the threatening remarks were sent to a victim over Facebook.

Officers were able to identify a suspect who was also bound by a probation order requiring him to keep the peace and be of good behaviour.

The accused was located on Lacroix Street shortly before 4 p.m. on Tuesday and he was arrested. The man, whose age and place of residence have not been released, is now charged with uttering threats and failing to comply with a probation order. He was held in custody for a bail hearing.
