A 41-year-old woman from Niagara Falls was arrested and charged with uttering threats and breach of probation.
The disturbance was one of two that resulted in arrests by Hanover police on Christmas Eve.

"Thank you to the police members across Ontario and beyond who are working this Christmas season to ensure our safety."
