Officers were called to Hudson Street just after 1 a.m. Friday.

The accused was spotted by police shortly after 1:30 a.m. walking southbound on Woodward Avenue.
Eric Duguay, 39, of Blind River has been charged with forcible confinement, assault and failing to comply with a probation order
The accused is scheduled to appear in an Elliot Lake court on February 1.
