Peterborough Man Charged With Assault After Dispute Over Babysitting Dog & Birthday Cake On Day Before Christmas

We can't make this stuff up—see below from Wednesday's Peterborough police release (which also includes a Break and Enter where the suspect didn't flush the toilet)...

"On December 24, 2016 the accused in this matter was looking after a neighbour’s dog. When the neighbour returned to get their dog a dispute arose over the length of time the dog had to be watched. The accused followed the neighbour home and demanded they turn over a birthday cake that was being stored there. The accused then assaulted the neighbour in their home.

Dwayne Ireland 46, of Hunter Street, Peterborough is charged with Assault. The accused is to appear in court on January 19, 2017."
