Just before 9 p.m. Wednesday, police were called to an apartment unit on Waterloo Avenue.

Officers located the male a short time later and he was arrested. A 46-year-old Guelph male is charged with break and enter, assault, uttering threats and mischief under $5,000. He will appear in a Guelph court August 8, 2023.
