Agree To Disagree

Sault Ste Marie OPP responded to several domestics and neighbour disputes yesterday.

In all of these cases there were no grounds to arrest anyone or lay charges against the feuding parties. Mediation between the involved parties appears to have resulted in no further need to involve the police in these disagreements.
