A 44-year-old Stratford resident has been arrested for a handful of charges and is believed to be connected to an ongoing investigation in Oxford County.
County OPP executed a warrant at a Downie Street address in Stratford the morning of Jan. 22, after being on scene since the night before.
Const. Randi Crawford, community safety and media relations officer with Oxford OPP, told the Times that armed police presence was necessary for the arrest based on the information that there was the possibility of a weapon – though Crawford clarified it was not a firearm.
The warrant was executed without incident and as a result the unnamed resident has been charged with Break and Enter into a Dwelling House, Assault With a Weapon, Mischief, Possession of a Weapon for a Dangerous Purpose, and three counts of Fail to Comply with a Release Order.
No injuries were reported.
