A number of weapons charges have been laid after police responded to a call for a man in distress.
Yesterday afternoon (Oct. 15), Timmins Police were called to a Suzanne Street apartment for a man "in distress and acting irrationally".
When officers arrived, it's alleged that the suspect produced weapons and fled to one of the apartment's bedrooms.
"The officers were able to subdue the suspect and take him into custody," reads a news release from Timmins Police.
A number of weapons were seized by police.
A 23-year-old from Timmins is charged with mischief, assault with a weapon, two counts of possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose, possessing a prohibited weapon, and resisting arrest.
The accused was held in police custody for a bail hearing today.
None of the charges have been tested in court and the accused is considered innocent unless proven guilty.
