After a dispute with his mother, a local man caused damage to her residence.  Brockville Police attended the south end home and observed the young man still damaging property while they were present.  The 21 year old was asked to settle down and he complied. Officers noted damage to an entry door as well as a cabinet.  At approximately 8:00 am., officers arrested the man for mischief as well as failing to comply with conditions of an undertaking and a recognizance for charges still before the courts.  He was held in custody for a bail hearing yesterday.  That appearance resulted in his matters being put over to todays’ bail court.
