Man Arrested for Threats and Damage at Supportive Housing Complex

A Guelph man faces charges after three employees of a supportive housing complex were threatened.

On Tuesday, officers were called to the home in the north end of the city for a physical disturbance, during which one of the residents damaged a fire extinguisher.

While officers were on scene they learned of another incident a week earlier during which three employees had to lock themselves in an office while a resident pounded on the door, demanding cigarettes and threatening to harm the workers.

A 26-year-old Guelph man is charged with mischief under $5,000 and three counts of uttering threats. He will appear in court February 21.
