A Chatham man wanted on outstanding warrants has been arrested after allegedly trying to flee from police.
The Chatham-Kent Police Service said officers responded to a disturbance on Talbot Street East in Blenheim at around 7 p.m. on Monday, after a man and a woman had been seen arguing.
When police arrived at the scene, the man attempted to evade police by fleeing on a bicycle. However, he was arrested a short distance away.
Officers also confirmed that the man was wanted on outstanding warrants in connection with other incidents that occurred earlier this year.
A 21-year-old Chatham man is now charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, flight from police, five counts of possession of stolen property over $5,000, five counts of possession of stolen property under $5,000, and five counts of theft under $5,000.
He was held in custody for a bail hearing.
