Man accused of licking door handle, damaging window at business
A 35-year-old Chatham man is facing several charges after he allegedly licked a door handle at a Chatham business after he was denied entry.
Police said they were called in for a complaint about a suspicious person at the business Wednesday morning.
Officers said before they showed up, the man tried to enter the business, but he was turned away at the door.

While police were investigating, they also learned that the man had allegedly damaged a separate business nearby and had threatened a manager there Tuesday night.
Officers arrested the accused and charged him with three counts of mischief and one count of assault with a weapon. He was taken into custody pending a bail hearing.
