Shortly after 3:30 p.m. on March 31, 2022, we received a call regarding a Weapons complaint at a residential building on Orell Street in Garson. Information provided was that one of the tenants had attended another unit within the building, banged on the door and when the resident answered, the man displayed a baton and threatened the resident. The man then returned to his unit and barricaded himself inside.

Officers arrived in the area and set up containment of the building. Officers began communications with the man who eventually surrendered himself without incident to Police just after 6:15 p.m.

The 36 year old man has been charged with the following offences under the Criminal Code of Canada;

  • Utter Threats to Cause Bodily Harm
  • Assault with a Weapon
  • Possession of a Weapon for a Dangerous Purpose
  • Breach of Release Order

He was transported to Police Headquarters where he was held in custody overnight in order to attend Bail Court today, April 1, 2022 to answer to the charges. His name cannot be released as the information has not yet been sworn to through the Court process.
