A handful of charges have been laid against a 19-year-old man from Dresden.
Chatham-Kent police say officers responded to a disturbance at a home on St. George Street in Dresden late Sunday afternoon.
According to police, the man allegedly brandished a knife during a verbal dispute, uttered threats, and advanced toward the victim while armed.
