Hamilton police charge a 12-year-old boy following an alleged bear-spraying of an 8-year-old in Hamilton, according to multiple reports. Police say the incidents occur on Tuesday. Officers also report two separate commercial break-ins connected to the same general incident period. Investigators say an additional boy, 11, is arrested, but is not charged criminally because of his age. The reports state that police bring the 12-year-old before the court process as appropriate under the circumstances, while the younger child cannot be dealt with through criminal charges. Both outlets describe the case as involving alleged use of bear spray against a younger child and police actions that include an arrest of another minor.
