Ontario Provincial Police | Dec 09, 2020
Members of the Lanark Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have charged two people after an incident in downtown Perth.
On December 4, 2020, shortly before 10:30 p.m., officers responded to a bar on Foster Street. The owner requested police remove several individuals, as a result of a dispute over a failure to wear face masks, which are required under provincial health regulations. Business owners may request that patrons leave their premises and can request police assistance if patrons fail to do so under the Trespass to Property Act.
While one individual left voluntarily, others were escorted from the location. Once outside, individuals refused to leave the area and became assaultive with officers. A Conducted Energy Weapon (CEW) was deployed and two individuals were arrested.
The males were charged with Public Intoxication under the Liquor Licensing Act and were released in the morning.
