A 46-year-old is facing multiple charges after allegedly breaking into a downtown business early this morning.
At around 5 a.m. Monday, someone phoned 911 to report a break and enter at a business in the 500 block of Queen Street East.
When officers arrived, they found damaged property but nobody inside.
Police say a person who matched the description of the suspect was found nearby and arrested.
"A search found the accused to be in possession of stolen merchandise from the business," says a news release issued by the Sault Ste. Marie Police Service.
Charles Walton, 46, is charged with:
- Break and Enter – Commit Indictable Offence
- Theft Under $5,000
- Mischief Under $5,000
- Failure to Comply with Probation Order
He was held in custody pending a bail hearing.
None of the allegations have been tested in court and Walton is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
