It was a busy night for Sault Ste. Marie’s finest with 13 arrests in the past twenty-four hours.

Two males were arrested in two separate domestic disturbance incidents. Both will be going to court in August. There were no serious injuries.

A youth was observed by police to be drinking a beer on the lawn of an east-end residence at 8:30 last night. When officers approached the suspect, a 16-year-old youth, he took flight. After a brief chase on foot, he was apprehended but struggled with the officer. The youth has been charged with resisting arrest, 2 counts of breach of probation and breach of an undertaking.

A 19-year-old suspect was returned to the Sault from Windsor yesterday by local officers. He was a passenger in a vehicle when a Windsor officer recognized him as being wanted in Sault Ste. Marie. He had failed to appear in court on Arson charges last year. He is also charged with possession of stolen property.
