Nestleton Man Charged With Mischief

A Scugog Township man has been charged after allegedly making a false report to police.

On Tuesday, June 17th, 2008 the accused reported to police that a Port Perry businessman had just assaulted him. The assault allegedly took place at a Port Perry business after several e-mails were exchanged between the two parties earlier.

Investigators from the 15 Division (North Durham) Criminal Investigative Branch (CIB) looked at the incident and interviewed a number of people. As a result of this investigation, police believe the complainant actually assaulted the Port Perry businessman.
