Held for bail

A 39-year-old Belleville man is being held for a bail hearing Tuesday following a violent incident at a home in the city’s north end involving his mother.

Shortly before 5 p.m. Monday police received a call from a city resident advising her son was on his way into town and had threatened to damage property if she didn’t pay the fare for his taxi.

A short time later the ex-spouse of the same male called to report the male had attended her home and as she was pulling away in a vehicle and punched her car.

Officers attended the ex-spouse’s residence and found substantial damage to the home – patio doors were smashed; a hot tub was damaged and several interior items were destroyed.

Police searched for the male throughout the night, eventually locating and arresting him in the area of Harmony Road around 2 a.m. Tuesday.

The male was held for a bail hearing. His name is not being released to protect the identity of the victims involved in the incident.
