A Blenheim man is facing numerous charges following an incident early Thursday morning.
According to Chatham-Kent Police, officers on general patrol noticed a man acting suspiciously just before 4 a.m. and stopped to investigate on Chatham Street South in Harwich Township.
When approached by officers, police say the man fled the area.
After a short foot chase, the man was located by police who then used a conducted energy weapon to take the man into custody.
Police say a subsequent search of the man turned up stolen credit cards and suspected cocaine.
The 40-year-old was taken to police headquarters and charged with trespassing at night, break and enter, possession of stolen property and possession of a controlled substance.
He was released with conditions and will appear in Chatham court on August 10.
