Man Arrested for Mischief

A Chatham man has learned the hard way that if you're trying to hide from police, you shouldn't play with fire extinguishers.

Police have laid mischief charges against a 20-year-old man from Chatham after a disturbance Monday night at a multi-unit residential building on King Street East in Chatham.

Chatham-Kent police said they received information that people were causing a disturbance, which resulted in one person spraying the other with a fire extinguisher.

Officers also found the suspect was wanted for failing to comply with a release order in a separate investigation.

The suspect was charged with mischief and failing to comply with a release order.
