Shediac RCMP arrested a 53-year-old man from Grande-Digue, N.B. who is now facing four separate charges.
Last Saturday, officers from the New Brunswick Department of Public Safety conducted a check at the man’s home on Martial Hebert Road.
The man, identified as Ronald Paul Joseph Breau, was required to self-isolate following an out-of-province trip.
Breau allegedly threatened the peace officers, after which RCMP obtained a search warrant.
Inside the home, police found and seized three long guns and ammunition.
Breau was arrested in a vehicle several kilometres away from his home.
He was charged with assaulting a peace officer, unsafe storage of a firearm and not complying with an order to self-isolate for 14 days, under the N.B. Emergency Measures Act.
On Thursday, Breau appeared in court through tele-remand for a bail hearing. He remains in custody.
Breau is scheduled to appear in Moncton court June 8.
