At about 9 p.m. Friday, the Thunder Bay Provincial Communications Centre received a call from a Fort Frances residence. Upon receiving the call, the phone call was disconnected. Attempts to reconnect with the caller were unsuccessful and officers were dispatched to the residence, said the report.
An adult female at the residence reported to officers she had been assaulted by an adult male, who fled the residence.
The man was located by a canine with the Ontario Provincial Police North West Region Canine Unit, with the assistance of the North West Region Emergency Response Team, a short time later in the area of Highway 11 near Pitt Road No. 2 in Fort Frances and taken into police custody.
