A Leamington man is confronting nearly a dozen criminal charges after a police investigation earlier this week.
Charges Include Assault and Firearm Offences
The charges encompass uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm, assault with a weapon, and multiple offences related to the possession and careless storage of a weapon, firearm, prohibited device, or ammunition.
Just before 5 a.m. on Wednesday, Ontario Provincial Police officers executed a search warrant at a residence on Fox Street.
As a result, a 28-year-old man was arrested and charged. As of Thursday, the accused remained in custody pending a bail hearing at a Windsor courthouse.
Involved in Wednesday’s search were members of the Essex County and Lambton Community Street Crime units, the OPP Emergency Response Team, the Canine Unit, and the Tactics and Response Unit.
Authorities urge anyone with information about criminal activity to contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477 or via ontariocrimestoppers.ca.
