Former CFL wide receiver Chad Owens has been charged with one count of assault after Peel Regional Police were called to a Mississauga home Monday (Feb. 25).

Officers were called to the home in the area of Mavis Road and Matheson Boulevard West just before 3 p.m. after a 911 call reporting a disturbance.

Const. Harinder Sohi confirmed Owens is accused of assaulting a woman in a domestic-related incident but wouldn’t get in to specifics about the relationship between the two.

Owens, 36, of Mississauga, spent six seasons playing for the Toronto Argonauts, and has also been a member of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Montreal Alouettes and Saskatchewan Roughriders.
