Owen Sound Police have laid multiple charges against a 31 year old Owen Sound man after an incident over night Friday. Just after 2:00 a.m. on Saturday morning police were called to an apartment on 3rd Avenue East.

A caller had reported to police that a 25 year old male was being held in the apartment against his will. Police located the male victim as he left the unit and determined he was unhurt.

It was learned that the suspect had lured the victim to the apartment through a third party and then demanded cash from him when he arrived. The suspect was brandishing a wooden bat as he demanded money and refused to let the victim leave. The suspect was located a short time later and arrested. He was already wanted for committing an assault on the same victim the previous day.

The accused, Michael VanWyck, has been charged with attempted robbery, forcible confinement, having a weapon for a dangerous purpose and two counts of failing to comply with a pre-existing probation order. He was held for a bail hearing.
