A woman faces multiple charges stemming from a dispute with a family member.
Chatham-Kent Police Service officials say on July 17 at 1 p.m. a woman and her female relative allegedly became involved in an argument within their residence in Wheatley.
The argument escalated and the woman allegedly threatened her relative.
After being threatened, the relative made several attempts to leave the residence.
Each time, the woman prevented her from exiting, police say.
Around 6 p.m. the relative entered the kitchen and observed glassware smashed all over the floor.
The value is estimated at less than $5,000.
On July 19, at 3:p.m. the relative returned to her residence and observed that the kitchen cupboards had now been emptied and shattered all over the floor.
The value is estimated at less than $5,000.
This time, the police were called and notified of all the incidents.
When the officer arrived, the woman exited the house through a window in an attempt to evade police.
Due to her whereabouts being unknown once she left, a warrant for her arrest was issued.
On Thursday at 11:30 a.m. the 30-year-old Wheatley woman was arrested and charged with the following offences:
– Uttering Threats
– Forcible Confinement
– Mischief Under $5,000 x 2
She was transported to Chatham-Kent Police Service Headquarters and then to the Court House for a bail hearing.
