THUNDER BAY — A 48-year-old man has been arrested after a firearms incident on Jan. 17.
Police responded to a report of an assault and a firearm being discharged in the 200 block of Bay Street.
The investigation led to a suspect being identified and on Wednesday; police descended on a residence in the 200 block of Amelia Street West and arrested a suspect.
The accused was charged with assault with a weapon, careless use of a firearm, carrying a concealed weapon, pointing a firearm, possession of a restricted firearm with ammunition and five counts of possession of a firearm or ammunition contrary to a prohibition order.

It is Newswatch policy not to name people facing criminal accusations when we are unlikely to follow the case to its conclusion in the courts.
