Grey County, ON – Grey County OPP charged two persons with assaults over the weekend. The incidents were far apart geographically with one occurring in the Municipality of Meaford and the other in Chatsworth Township, however, the common denominator in both cases was the aggressors were young females.
Just before 7 pm on May 16, 2010 two young females were outside in a parking area at an apartment complex on Victoria Street in Meaford. One of the girls made verbal threats and shoved the other. She was physically restrained by bystanders but broke free and punched the victim in the face. The female aggressor has been charged with assault. She was held for a bail hearing and will appear this morning (May 17th, 2010) in Youth Justice Court-Owen Sound.
At about 9:30 pm the same night officers were called to a youth detention centre southwest of Chatsworth regarding a disturbance. It came to light that one of the involved females had made a threat toward a female staff member while holding an object that could be used as a weapon. The 15 year-old female was arrested and has been charged with assault. She was held for a bail hearing and will appear this morning (May 17th, 2010) in Youth Justice Court-Owen Sound.
