Three officers assaulted during disturbance investigation in Guelph

A woman in Guelph is facing charges following an incident in which three Guelph Police officers were assaulted while responding to a disturbance call.

Officers said it all happened Wednesday evening, at around 7 p.m., when Guelph Police received calls about a reported disturbance in the area of Speedvale Avenue East and Malborough Road.

They arrived to find a woman at the scene, who police described as being “irate and confrontational,” and while officers were trying to apprehend the woman, she is said to have allegedly kicked an officer twice in the leg.

From there, once she was transported to hospital for assessment, the suspect is said to have remained confrontational, scratching a second officer’s arm before “throwing urine at a third, striking his pants and shoes.”

As a result, the 31-year-old Guelph woman has been charged with three counts of assaulting police.

She was held in custody for a bail hearing.
