A Chapleau man's facing multiple charges after an early-morning break-in.
Superior East Ontario Provincial Police say officers were called to a break-and-enter on Ash Street in Chapleau around 3:30 this morning, finding a person attempting to break into an abandoned weapon - police say the man ran toward the officers "wielding an object in his hand", prompting "several warnings to stop" before police used a conductive energy weapon on the man.
The 52-year-old's been charged with two counts of assault peace officer with a weapon and one count each of break, enter a place with intent to commit indictable offence and possession of break-in instruments.
He's been released from custody, set to appear in Chapleau court at a later date.
