Arrest
A twenty nine year old St. Thomas man wanted on a warrant for domestic related offences was arrested at the London Court House yesterday.  The man was scheduled for an appearance on an unrelated matter when court security learned the man had a warrant for his arrest. The warrant was issued after a verbal argument between the man and his estranged wife became physical back on July 31st.   St. Thomas Police were notified and attended London to transport the accused back to St. Thomas where he was processed and released on a Promise to Appear in Court.
