Man banned from the hospital arrested for unwarranted visit

A 32-year-old Chatham-Kent man who wasn't supposed to go to the local hospital unless he needed medical care is in more trouble with the law.

Police said they were called to the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance in Chatham for a breach of probation investigation after the man showed up at the building Tuesday morning.

Officers said the man was out on probation with a specific order that required him to stay away from that property unless he was seeking medical care and in this case, he was not.

The accused was arrested and charged with two counts of failing to comply with a probation order. He was later released with a future court date.
