A man faces charges after Saugeen Shores Police were dispatched to a report of an unwanted person at a local variety store on Sunday evening.
Police say they received a report the man was allegedly trying to steal from the business and had left towards a local motel.
Police located the man and say he was intoxicated and belligerent, refusing to identify himself to officers, then produced a wallet and threw it at an officer, striking him in the face.
The man was arrested, and police say when he was in the police cruiser, he allegedly began to threaten the officer involved and was continuously spitting all over the interior of the vehicle.
A 29-year-old man previously of Teeswater was arrested and charged with assaulting a peace officer and uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm.
