Assault charge laid in Merrickville break and enter

By Mike Vlasveld

Ontario Provincial Police officers have made one arrest while looking for another suspect in a couple of Merrickville break-ins.

The first was reported last Wednesday, October 10, at Bob's Chip Truck on St. Lawrence Street. 

The break and enter happened sometime the previous evening. 

A small amount of cash was taken. 

Anyone with information in that case is encouraged to contact the Kemptville OPP at 613-258-3441.

Then around 8 p.m. last Wednesday, OPP responded to a break and enter at a Wellington Street address. 

Police say the home owner had returned to find a unknown man in her home. The resident was able to wrestle the accused outside of the home and alert neighbours, who called 911.

Jamie Cater, 45, of Merrickville is charged with:

– Assault
– Break and Enter

He will appear before the Brockville Ontario Court of Justice on November 16.
