Chatham-Kent police say they have charged a 27-year-old man after he was driving with his girlfriend partially out of the vehicle during an argument.
On Wednesday at 8:50 p.m., individuals approached police to report an incident. They reported that at 7:45 p.m., at a Sheldon Avenue residence, a man engaged in a verbal argument with his romantic partner.
Police say witnesses saw the man driving in reverse with the girlfriend partially inside the vehicle and the door open.
As the situation escalated, police say the witness attempted to intervene by standing in front of the vehicle, resulting in the vehicle making contact with them. The man continued to drive forward, with the girlfriend still not fully inside the vehicle.
Police later met with the man and his girlfriend at a residence in the south end of Chatham.
Officers say the 27-year-old Chatham man admitted to being an unlicensed driver and acknowledged operating the vehicle during the incident.
He was subsequently arrested and transported to police headquarters where he was charged with two counts of Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle.
He was later released with conditions and a scheduled court date of July 21, 2025.

Winnipeg police issue warrant for suspect in assault at The Forks
Winnipeg police have issued a warrant for a man they allege randomly attacked a man at The Forks earlier this month. Daniel Christopher Dumas, 33, is wanted following an assault at The Forks on June 6. According to police, a 33-year-old man was assaulted randomly and beaten until he was unconscious. He was later taken to the hospital in stable condition. Police allege Dumas was also involved in two other incidents on June 7, one of which was a random attack. At 12:05 a.m., police said Dumas assaulted a 37-year-old woman standing in line at a beer vendor in the 600 block of Westminster Avenue, stealing her purse. Then at 1:39 a.m., police said Dumas broke into a garage at a home in River Heights and rummaged through a vehicle inside. They said he tried to break into the home as well, but was not successful. None of the charges have been proven in court. Police say Dumas is five-foot-eight, weighs 150 pounds and has a thin build. Police say he should not be approached, as he is considered armed and dangerous. Anyone with information about his location is asked to call the major crimes unit at 204-986-6219.

HRTO mediation unsuccessful between inspector and the Windsor Police Service
A Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (HRTO) mediation between an inspector and the Windsor Police Service was unsuccessful. Inspector Norman 'Ed' Armstrong filed a discrimination and sexual harassment complaint in 2024. According to the complaint to the HRTO, obtained by CTV News, Armstrong alleged he was 'discriminated against based on his race, the colour of his skin, and received unwanted 'sexual harassment, solicitations, or advances.' A spokesperson for the HRTO confirmed mediation 'proceeded' on June 19 but 'the parties did not settle.' The matter remains before the HRTO, but it's not clear if that means the complaint will proceed to a full hearing. Armstrong was reinstated to the rank of Inspector this past February, after being demoted for one-year for discreditable conduct for comments made to female employees of the WPS.
