By-Law Enforcement Officer assaulted
Just before midnight on Mar. 13, 2017 City of Guelph By-law Enforcement Officers were performing patrols in the downtown area when they attended to the Carden Street Via station to lock it up for the night. There was a conversation with a male who was inside the station to advise him that the station was closing and he would have to leave the premise. He was not compliant with that direction and then went into the washroom and would not come out. When the officers went in to speak with the man again, he assaulted one of the officers and police were contacted.
Police arrived and arrested 26-year-old Kyle Bickford of Guelph for assaulting a peace officer. He was later released to appear in court on Apr. 25, 2017.
