Arrests Made in Sherman Avenue Disturbance

Three Hamilton men were arrested last night in relation to mischief to a residence on Sherman Avenue. They will appear in court on Monday, May 13, 2019.

On Tuesday, April 9, 2019, shortly before 11:00 p.m., Hamilton Police responded to reports of a street disturbance in the area of Sherman Avenue north of Barton Street East. Prior to police arrival, people believed to be involved in the incident were observed fleeing through an alley, west of Sherman Avenue. Once on scene police became aware of a disturbance at a nearby residence on Barton Street. They attended the location and with the front door already open continued to hear screaming and disorder. In order to check on the safety of the occupants, police entered the residence and discovered three males who claimed to have been assaulted with an aerosol irritant. The males also displayed minor injuries believed to have been obtained in a physical altercation prior to police presence. Further information surrounding that incident was not provided to police.

Through investigation, police learned the males were involved in the original disturbance. Evidence was gathered to support their roles in damaging a residence on Sherman Avenue; several windows and a door affected, valued at approximately $1000.  

The males were arrested and taken into police custody. They were subsequently released and are scheduled to appear in court on Monday, May 13, 2019, to answer to the charge of Mischief.
