A 42-year-old Belleville man is facing multiple charges after a suspected impaired driving complaint led police to a residence, where officers say the situation escalated into a violent confrontation.
According to information released by the Belleville Police Service, officers were called to the city’s north end on May 22nd at approximately 7:25 p.m. after a complainant reported seeing a male arrive in a parking lot while appearing intoxicated.
Police say the complainant removed the vehicle keys before the male left the area on foot.
Through investigation, officers identified the male and determined he was prohibited from driving. Police then attended his residence, where the male and a female were present.
When officers attempted to arrest him, police say the man refused to comply and retreated inside the home. Moments later, officers heard a verbal dispute and observed the male with his arm around the female’s neck.
Officers intervened, and police say the man released the female before allegedly charging at an officer. He was taken into custody.
