On Monday, investigators revealed the young man was brought back to Hamilton by authorities to face “several” firearm-related charges connected to a “disturbance” at a residence around 6:30 p.m. on Aug. 9.
Three men were alleged to have confronted a property manager with “intimidating behaviour” after being asked to leave the premises.
