KINGSTON, Ont. March 1 2018 – Police in Kingston, Ont., say a 26-year-old man faces several charges related to an alleged assault on security guards at a liquor store.
The incident happened last Thursday evening, when police say the man attempted to walk out of the store with two bottles of liquor in his pants.
When confronted by security, police say the suspect refused to give the bottles back and eventually a struggle ensued.
