Editor’s note: This story originally stated that the man was heavily armed when he arrived at the home, but OPP have clarified now that he did not have most of the weapons seized on his person upon arrival. The story has been changed to reflect that.
OPP have laid a number of charges after a police chase in Quinte West.

Police say he was finally located in a field on Creswell Drive. He was arrested and police seized three firearms, two air pistols, ammunition, a sword and a prohibited knife. Police say the man had a knife on his person, and the other weapons were seized during the investigation.
