A 51-year-old Peterborough man has been arrested and charged with mischief after he continued to disturb his neighbour by playing loud music.
Since August 20, Peterborough police have responded to several noise complaints in connection with a residence to a George Street South. The noise involved the occupant of the residence playing load music while the windows remained open.
During this time, police warned the occupant several times and also charged him under the city’s noise by-law.
On Monday (August 29) at 10:30 p.m., police went to the residence in response to another noise complaint. When officers attempted to speak to the occupant about the noise, he turned up the volume.
After obtaining a warrant, police entered the residence at 8 a.m. the following day, placed the occupant under arrest for mischief, and transported him to the police station.
Later the same day, police obtained another warrant to enter the residence and seize the stereo equipment the accused man was using to play music.
A 51-year-old Peterborough man has been charged with mischief for interfering with the lawful use and enjoyment of his neighbour’s property. He appeared in court on Tuesday (August 30) and was released.
