A routine argument over rent turned volatile inside a west-end Guelph home Friday night, prompting a police response and resulting charges. What officers found highlighted how quickly a financial disagreement can spiral into a criminal investigation.
A man and woman each face assault and weapons charges following a disturbance between roommates Friday night.
Just after 9 p.m. police were dispatched to an address near Willow Road and Flaherty Drive.
