Intimate Partner Assault
On September 27, 2023 at 6:46 p.m., police were called to a residence in the city’s east end regarding an intimate partner dispute in progress. Officers spoke with the female victim at the scene and learned that she had been physically assaulted on numerous occasions over the past several weeks including once with a metal water bottle. As a result, police arrested and charged a 37-year-old Belleville man with three counts of assault and one count of assault with a weapon. He was released on an undertaking with a court date in October. The name of the accused is not being released in order to protect the identity of the victim.
Breach of the peace
On September 28, 2023 at 12:30 a.m., police attended an east end residence regarding a family dispute. Police received a call from a distraught father who was unable to stop his adult son from acting out which included throwing and breaking items inside their home. Police attended and spoke to the involved parties. It was evident to the officers that the 29-year-old son was unwilling to stop the destructive behavior. As a result, in order to prevent the continuation of the offence and for the safety of the home occupants, officers arrested the son for breach of the peace. He was later released unconditionally once officers reasonably believed there would be no further issues.
