Three men arrested in ‘chaotic' fight

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.

LemondAid Day raising thousands to send Elgin County kids to camp
An Elgin County-wide initiative could help send nearly 100 kids to summer camp. An Elgin County-wide initiative could help send nearly 100 kids to summer camp. LemondAid Day has 43 stands across the region selling lemonade by donation Saturday with 100 per cent of the proceeds going to the Elgin Children's Foundation (EFC). 'Kids, families and businesses are setting up lemonade stands all across town,' says Myles Proulx, a volunteer and community engagement advocate at Family & Children's Services of St. Thomas and Elgin County. 060725 - LemonAid Myles Proulx of Family and Children's Services is the coordinator of LemonAid Day in Elgin County (Source: Brent Lale/CTV London) 'Overnight camp costs about $700, and day camp is about $300. We have a bunch of kids that have requested camp this year, so we could potentially send about 86 kids to camp'. The goal is to raise $25,000 after bringing in $13,000 a year ago in the first annual event. At Geerlinks Home Hardware in St. Thomas, dozens of customers were stopping on their way into the store to purchase a lemonade. They were dropping anywhere from $5 to $50 in the bucket. 060725 - LemonAid A customer supporting LemonAid Day pours a glass into a cup in Aylmer, Ont. on Saturday, June 7, 2025. (Source: Brent Lale/CTV London) 'I think this is a big one for us because it's involving kids,' says Danielle Geerlinks. 'We're doing this to send kids in the community to camp, where a lot of these kids maybe wouldn't have the opportunity to do that otherwise. We like to involve our kids in it and show them, sending it down into different generations, how important it is to support the community'. Some of the camps involved include Camp Stevenson, Horseman's School of Equitation (HSE), Pearce Williams, as well as the YMCA, YWCA, STEM, STEAM and the City of St. Thomas. 'I'll give you a little story,' says Proulx. 'We had a young man that stopped by one of the lemonade stand's last year. He was in his 20s. He said he was involved with Family and Child Services when he was younger, and he was able to go to camp because of programs like this and he said, honestly, it changed his life. He gave a $20 donation, which is a beautiful symbol of what we're doing here. It's about community coming together, giving back for kids, families that might not be able to afford to send their kids to camp'. 060725 - LemonAid Children run the LemonAid Day stand outside of Geerlinks Home Hardware in St. Thomas, Ont. on Saturday, June 7, 2025. (Source: Brent Lale/CTV London) Aylmer Police had a stand outside the Imperial Market in Aylmer Saturday. 'It's important when we keep the money in our County and support local,' says Deputy Chief Chris Johnson of the Aylmer Police. 'If we can send one kid to camp, we've done our job today'. Judging by the early support Saturday, dozens of kids will get that opportunity.
