A woman described as "highly intoxicated" was arrested in Elliot Lake after breaking into a neighbour's apartment and threatening the resident and their dog.
On November 23 at 10:30 p.m., East Algoma OPP officers were called to an apartment concerning a violent neighbour dispute.
The complainant reported that their female neighbour was highly intoxicated and acting extremely irrationally.
