London woman arrested for impaired driving after argument
A 56-year-old London woman who drove off after an afternoon argument in a parking lot is facing an impaired driving charge.
Chatham-Kent police said they were called in shortly after 4 p.m. Tuesday for a domestic disturbance on Grand Avenue East in Chatham and learned that the woman had been arguing with a man in a parking lot before she took off.
Police said they were told the woman had been drinking alcohol before she left, so they went looking for her and found her vehicle about an hour later while it was heading east on Longwoods Road in Chatham Township.
The officer who pulled her over believed she had been driving under the influence of alcohol, so she was arrested and taken to police headquarters for breath tests.
She was charged with having a blood alcohol level over the legal limit and was later released with conditions and a future court date.

Three people who were all out on probation for various offences were arrested by Chatham-Kent police Tuesday night.
Police said in the first case, a 25-year-old Chatham-Kent man was arrested after some bottles were stolen from a business on St. Clair Street in Chatham.
The investigation started when police were called to the business shortly before 8 p.m. Tuesday.
Officers learned a man went into the store, took several bottles off of the shelf, and then took off without paying for them.
Police were able to identify the man after reviewing some video surveillance of the incident.
A suspect was arrested at 9:40 p.m. while he was walking on Princess Street in Chatham. Officers later confirmed that the man was also on a release and probation order for similar offences.
A 25-year-old Chatham-Kent man has been charged with theft and possession of stolen property and he was set to be held in custody pending a bail hearing.

Police said they found him there at around 9:15 p.m. Tuesday and recognized him from "previous interactions."
Officers said the man ran away when police approached him, but they were able to chase him down and arrest him.
Police said after he was arrested, they confirmed that one of the man's probation orders required him to stay away from the WISH Centre's property.
