A 26-year-old Tilbury man is facing more charges after he allegedly showed up at a specific Tilbury woman's residence even though he wasn't supposed to communicate with her or attend her home.

Officers said despite those conditions, they allegedly found the man inside the woman's home on Tuesday after they were notified that he had shown up there.
