Man arrested for failing to attend court

Chatham-Kent Police Service officials allege: Last night at approximately 1 p.m. police responded to a suspicious person at a local business in Chatham.

Police located the man and learned there was an outstanding warrant for him.

The 40-year-old Chatham man was arrested for failing to attend court.

He was transported to police headquarters and held pending a bail hearing.

Clear you’re windshield

Chatham-Kent Police Service officials allege: The most important function of your windshield is to allow you to navigate safely.

Remember, that operating a vehicle with a snow-covered windshield is not only dangerous, but against the law.

During the winter months, make sure you have a snow brush and ice scraper in your vehicle.

Motorists in a hurry often only clear the windshield; please take the extra time to clear all windows of your vehicle.

It is an offence to drive with an obstructed view.

Having no clear view to the front, sides or rear of your vehicle may result in a $110 fine.
