Haldimand County OPP on Friday arrested a 43-year-old man on Douglas Creek Estates in relation to incidents that occurred during the Labour Day weekend in Caledonia.
Police charged Kenneth Greene, of no fixed address, with disguise with intent, four counts of assault with a weapon, three counts of uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm, two counts of intimidation and four counts of mischief.
Greene is being held in custody pending a bail hearing Monday.
Natives set up barricades on Argyle Street South and blocked the Highway 6 bypass in Caledonia on Labour Day, following the arrest in Brantford of Six Nations protester Steve Powless and two others.
BROKEN AGREEMENT
First Nations spokeswoman Dawn Smith says the OPP have broken an April 20, 2006, agreement not to enter the property.
Smith compares Greene's arrest Friday with the police tactics at Ipperwash that led to the 1995 death of First Nations activist Dudley George.
An ill-fated raid on the former housing subdivision in April, 2006 -- when dozens of police officers entered the site to arrest 16 protesters that had occupied the site for eight weeks -- sparked blockades and violent clashes between aboriginals, police and residents.
The OPP said a through review of evidence relating to the Labour Day inci- dents, including witness statements, photographs and video, is expected to lead to criminal charges against "a number of persons."
In a media release, OPP Commissioner Julian Fantino said the provincial force is committed to ensuring those responsible for illegal activity are charged accordingly."
Insp. Mike Rigby, acting detachment commander, is asking for the public's help with ongoing investigations into the Labour Day incidents.
Anyone with information is asked to call the OPP at 905-772-3322 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
