A Verner man is looking at an assault charge after an incident with his girlfriend. West Nipissing Police Inspector Ray St. Pierre says the charge was the result of a domestic dispute becoming violent. St. Pierre says it’s alleged the 48-year-old swung a bag of tools at the woman and hit her with an ashtray. Meanwhile police have charged a 56-year-old Crystal Falls man with harassment after a neighbour called the authorities. The complainant told police that the accused kept watching his home even though he was told to stop several times.
