A 22-year-old woman is facing multiple charges, including assault with a weapon, following an incident at a Sault business last week.

The Sault Ste. Marie Police Service responded to a report of an assault at a business in the 200 block of Bay Street around 12:30 p.m. on Nov. 13.

“Officers were dispatched to the business, where they located the accused in custody of security officers,” said the police service in a news release Monday.

“An investigation revealed the accused threw a handful of small objects at a security officer when asked to leave the premises.”

The victim, a security officer, did not sustain any physical injuries as a result of the incident, according to police.

The woman has been charged with assault with a weapon, failure to comply with a probation order and entering premises when entry is prohibited under the Trespass to Property Act.

The accused was released from custody on an undertaking and is scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 5.
