A 37-year-old man from Bourget was charged with assaulting police officers following a police operation at a residence in the Clarence-Rockland village.

Shortly after 9 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 14, police, alongside the OPP’s Emergency Response Team, Tactics and Rescue Unit and Crisis Negotiators, responded to a disturbance at a residence on Lemery Street, between Colette Street and Champlain Road.

For several hours police cars and emergency vehicles were stationed outside of the residence and blocking through traffic before Alexandre Bisson was arrested and removed from the house.

Two officers suffered minor injuries during the incident, according to the OPP.

Bisson is charged with two counts of assaulting a police officer with a weapon, two counts of uttering threats of causing bodily harm or death, and two counts of destroying or damaging property. Bisson was held in custody following a bail hearing and will appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in L’Orignal on February 15.
