An assault at a grocery store in Caledon led to the eventual arrest of a erratic man.

The suspect was described as a white male, short dark hair, wearing dark pants, a red and grey sweatshirt, black backpack and was carrying a green bag.
The next day at 3 p.m., the Caledon Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) interviewed a person whose vehicle tires had been abruptly slashed in a parking lot in the area of McEwan Drive East and Highway 50 by an unknown person.

Mischief under $5000
Assault with a weapon
Possession of a Schedule III substance
Two counts of failing to comply with a release order
He was held for a Bail Hearing at the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville.
