A report was made to the Scarborough Police, and Howie was subsequently arrested by WPC Chapman. She was later charged for the offences of assault and malicious damage to items, amounting to the value of $6,000.

The accused is expected to appear before the Scarborough Magistrates’ Court virtually today, Thursday 18th March, 2021.
