This alleged attack led police to execute a search warrant at the home of the accused. Police say during the search they found bagged marijuana, digital scales, knives and .22-calibre bullets.
Because the accused was not at home at the time of the search, a warrant for his arrest was issued.
Police say the accused turned himself in at police headquarters on June 4.
The accused was charged with assault, robbery, two counts of possession of ammunition while prohibited, possession of controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, and three counts of breach probation.
