Domestic assault arrests
Chatham-Kent police have made two arrests in connection with a pair of domestic assault investigations.

Drunk in public
A 26-year-old Chatham woman spent the night in police custody after she was turned away from a different residence in Chatham.
Police said they were called to the address on Murray Street at around 11:30 p.m. Sunday and learned that the woman was "unwanted" by the occupants there.
Officers said the woman was allegedly intoxicated and unable to care for herself, so they arrested her for public intoxication, and took her into custody until she sobered up.
