An argument between neighbours over pet poop turned violent earlier this month.
Wellington County OPP were called to a home on Credit River Road in Erin on May 8.
Investigators say two residents were seen confronting each other verbally after a pet “littered” in a yard.
They say the argument led to one of the men assaulting the other.
A 60-year-old man from Erin was charged with assault with a weapon and uttering threats.
He will have a hearing in Guelph on July 7.
