A suspect found at the scene with a five-inch folding knife was arrested without incident, police say.
Police allege the man was breaking a very specific part of a probation order.
“The subsequent investigation revealed the male was currently on a Probation Order with one of his conditions being not to be in possession of a knife unless in his residence for the purpose of preparing or eating food,” police said in a media release Thursday.
