A 61-year-old Barrie man is facing multiple weapons charges following an incident Sunday night on Ottaway Avenue.
Shortly before 11:00 p.m. on Sunday, February 15th, officers responded to a weapons call after paramedics attending a medical-related incident reported that a male inside the residence was seen brandishing a firearm.
Frontline officers, along with the K9 Unit, established a containment area around the home. After some time, the male approached the front door but refused to show his hands. Police deployed a Conducted Energy Weapon (CEW), and the man was taken into custody without further incident.
No injuries were reported.
Investigators later executed a search warrant at the residence and seized several long guns, knives and ammunition.
The accused has been charged with:
- Possession of a Weapon for a Dangerous Purpose
- Unauthorized Possession of a Weapon
- Knowledge of Unauthorized Possession of a Firearm
- Careless Storage of a Firearm
Police say the investigation remains ongoing.
