Three men arrested in ‘chaotic' fight
A Barrie police car at the scene of an investigation in this undated file image. Police in Barrie arrested and charged three men after responding to a fight in the south end of the city Tuesday night. According to the Barrie Police Service (BPS), officers received a report about two men fighting near Mapleview Drive East and Huronia Road, and that weapons might have been involved. One of the men was arrested as soon as the officers arrived at the scene, and police say he made threats toward the officers as they were taking him into custody. The second man allegedly fled into a wooden area before being located and arrested by the BPS Canine Unit. Additional information police say they obtained involved a third man and a woman who were unknown, and that they may have taken two of the first man's children. Police say the officers eventually ended up at a home on Shalom Way where they found the children unharmed and arrested the third man and woman. Then, due to what police describe as 'complex' issues prior to and after their arrest, the duo was hospitalized for treatment for non-life-threatening injuries. The investigation continued with the help of detectives from the Criminal Investigation Division. Through the information they gathered, police say they learned that the four adults were all known to each other, spending that afternoon together before deciding to walk to a convenience store with the children. Police later confirmed that the initial fight was found to be consensual, and no weapons were involved. However, a spokesperson from the BPS told CTV News that alcohol was 'more than likely' a contributing factor. The two men in the initial fight were each charged with two counts of causing a disturbance by fighting. The first man was also charged with two counts of uttering threats for his alleged actions toward the arresting officers. The third man who was found at the Shalom Way home was charged with two counts of obstructing police and was held for a bail hearing. The woman was released unconditionally.
