City man charged after Norwich Avenue incident

Police were called to a residence on the evening of Nov. 14 following reports of a disturbance.

Upon arrival, officers attempted to assess the well-being of the people inside the home. One occupant was uncooperative and refused to allow police entry to confirm the safety of those inside. After continued attempts to make contact, officers were eventually able to determine that the occupants had sustained minor injuries as a result of an altercation.

A 57-year-old Woodstock male eventually surrendered peacefully to police. He was arrested without incident and is facing charges of assault and forcible confinement.

Injuries to the victim were treated on scene by EMS and are considered minor.

Police say the alleged victim and the accused were known to each other.
