- Assault with A Weapon CC 267(a)
- Possession of Prohibited device or ammunition for Dangerous Purpose CC 88
- Possession of a Schedule I Substance - Opioid (other than heroin) CDSA 4(1)
Both were released from custody and are scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Windsor at a later date.
Police continue to investigate the incident and are asking anyone with information to call the Lakeshore OPP at 1-888-310-1122. To remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS)
