A Grey Highlands man has been charged after a 49-year-old woman was allegedly sexually assaulted outside a laundromat in Markdale on Sunday.
Grey County OPP were called to the scene of the incident at 17 Toronto Street South shortly before 7 p.m., but while en route an officer saw a man matching the suspect description.
Police say the male was walking southbound on Toronto Street and appeared to be intoxicated, refusing to stop despite several requests by the officer.
Once he was arrested, police say the suspect resisted and additional officers had to be called in to assist, and the arresting officer suffered a minor injury to his hand.
As a result, Wilfred Edward Cottrill, 39, of the Municipality of Grey Highlands, has been charged with:
- obstruct peace officer
- resist peace officer
- sexual assault
- being intoxicated in a public place
He was held for a bail hearing and is next scheduled to appear in court on July 31st.
