A Chatham man is now facing charges after a woman was harassed and held against her will back in May.
The Chatham-Kent Police Service said officers were called to a disturbance on McNaughton Avenue West in Chatham at around 615 p.m. on May 14.
Investigators learned that an argument between a man and a woman turned physical. When the woman attempted to leave the man also blocked her exit. He then went to the woman’s home several times and made repeated unwanted attempts to communicate with her.
A warrant was issued for the man’s arrest when he could not be located.
On Friday shortly after 6 a.m., an officer on general patrol spotted the suspect on Fourth Street near King Street and took him into custody.
A 29-year-old Chatham man is now charged with assault, forcible confinement, and criminal harassment. He was taken to police headquarters and held for a bail hearing.
