At roughly 10:35 a.m., officers were called to a strip mall in the Lansdowne Street West and Brealey Drive area after several calls about a woman refusing to leave a store and then threw rocks at the businesses’ windows.
An officer located a suspect matching the description given to the police. During the arrest, the suspect threw hot water in the officer’s face and punched them. The officer deployed their Conducted Energy Weapon (CEW) but it was ineffective due to the multiple layers of clothing the suspect was wearing. An off-duty officer and another civilian aided the officer and the suspect was taken into custody.
The officer was taken to Peterborough Regional Health Centre for treatment of burns.
The woman was arrested and charged with:
Mischief
Assault Peace Officer with a Weapon
Assault Peace Officer
