A lengthy investigation has resulted in Morden Police charging a 33-year-old Morden man with assault and two counts of Fail to Comply with a Probation Order.

The accused and victim were in a common-law relationship and the accused had previously assaulted the victim. The accused also had a probation order to prevent the accused from having contact or communication with the victim for the next two years.

The individual was also advised to keep the peace and be of good behavior.

However, on November 19 officers were dispatched to an address at 7:30 in the morning regarding a suspicious incident. Officers learned the accused had been in contact with the victim and had assaulted the victim several times throughout the evening.

Both parties involved had been drinking and, due to previous charges, the accused was remanded into custody and will be appearing in Morden Provincial Court in January.

Below is the Morden Police for the week of December 11-18:
