A 911 hang-up in Wallaceburg has led to assault and dangerous driving charges.
Chatham-Kent Police Service officials say on January 30, 2018 an officer attended a residence in Wallaceburg in regards to a hang up 911 call.
Police say through investigation, the officer learned about an incident that occurred on Wallace Street.
The man and woman agreed to give a female, known to them, a ride to another location, police allege.
When the female got into the vehicle, they realized she had been drinking, so they turned around and asked her to get out of the vehicle, police say.
An argument began, resulting in the man, who was still in the driver’s seat, driving the vehicle forward as the female was trying to exit the car.
The woman, who was in the passenger seat, reached backwards and assaulted the female, police allege.
The man exited the vehicle at which time the woman got in the driver’s seat and drove forward as the female fell to the ground, police allege.
Yesterday, the 24-year-old Wallaceburg man was arrested and charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.
The 19-year-old Wallaceburg woman was arrested and charged with assault and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.
Both were released with conditions pending a future court date of February 20, 2018.
