A Belleville man was arrested after a dispute with his mother escalated into violence.
On Sunday, just after 6 p.m., Belleville police officers were called to an apartment unit in the city’s east end. When they arrived, they were told that earlier in the day a woman’s adult son smashed a mirror inside the residence. Later, a verbal argument between the two escalated and the man grabbed the woman by the throat and threatened her.
After an investigation, police arrested a 47-year-old Belleville man and charged him with mischief under $5000, assault, and uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm. He also was also arrested on outstanding warrants issued by the Quinte West OPP and Durham Regional Police. He was held for a bail hearing.
