Police briefs include a stolen welder from Canadian Tire and a Woodstock man charged with assault with a weapon.

WOODSTOCK - It was a long weekend for the Woodstock Police who responded to 174 calls for service. 

One of the first calls came on Thursday evening after a theft from the Canadian Tire store on Norwich Ave. Police say a man filled his cart and left without paying, making off with an $850 welder. 

The suspect is described as a heavy set man in his mid 20's, about 5'7 with scruffy hair and he was wearing a light blue t-shirt. He was spotted leaving in a black GMC convertible.

Two people from Woodstock got quite the scare when they were attacked by a man at their townhouse complex . 

Police say the man and woman were walking through the complex when they spotted a man who was screaming obscenities towards them. The suspect pulled out a weapon and attempted to use it on the man. He eventually fled the scene without using the weapon after the woman threatened to call the cops. 

31 year old Zachery Ziegler has been charged with assault with a weapon, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, utter death threats and two counts of breach of probation.
