A 39-year-old man on a Canada-wide warrant was arrested by Hamilton police.
Officers were called to a residence shortly before 10 a.m. on Wednesday in the east-end area of Grandville Avenue and Violet Drive after a man had reportedly refused to leave the property despite a request by the owner, who told police the suspect was given permission to stay at the residence for two weeks but exceeded his welcome.
The owner also told police that there was a concern because the man “had become agitated and paranoid.”

Officers say after telling the man to exit the property, the man accused of trespassing “became assaultive towards police,” and was eventually taken into custody.
