EARLY MORNING ASSAULT AT RESTAURANT LEADS TO CHARGES

GRAVENHURST — An early morning altercation at a restaurant has led to several charges against a local man Saturday who was also charged recently with throwing sanitizer.

Police were called to the restaurant at 6:15 a.m. July 25 for disturbance on Muskoka Road South.

They say a man who was previously issued a trespass notice for the business attempted to enter and was asked to leave, say police, who allege he responded by smashing a window and assaulting a patron before fleeing on foot.

Officers located the man a short time later and arrested and charged 30-year-old Travis Gostick with Assault with a Weapon CC 267(a), Assault CC 266, Mischief CC 430(1)(a), Possession of Schedule I (Cocaine) CDSA 4(1) and Fail to Comply with Probation CC 733.1(1).

He is to appear in the Ontario Court of Justice in Bracebridge on July 28, 2020 for a bail hearing.

Gostick was also charged with assault two weeks ago after he was accused of throwing sanitizer at the Fabricare Cleaning Centre in Gravenhurst.
