A charge was laid in an ongoing neighbour dispute in a town halfway between Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie, police say.
Officers were called to a disturbance on Wagoosh Lake Road in the Township of the North Shore/Spragge around 4 p.m. April 12, Ontario Provincial Police said in a news release Tuesday.
“The investigation determined that an individual approached the complainant’s property line, began yelling at the complainant without provocation and made a threat to burn down the complainant’s garage,” police said.
As a result, OPP charged a 48-year-old woman with uttering threats to damage property.
She is scheduled to appear in court in Elliot Lake on June 5.
