“When police arrived, they found the man pointing the firearm at them through the doorway,” the RCMP said in a press release.
According to authorities, police were able to de-escalate the situation and convince the man to exit without the firearm. The suspect then attempted to turn towards the firearm and was arrested inside the residence.
Police said a loaded firearm was seized, and no injures were reported.
The RCMP said a Wagmatcook man was released on conditions and is facing four charges, including two counts of pointing a firearm, careless use of a firearm and resisting a peace officer.
The man is scheduled to appear at Wagmatcook provincial court on Dec. 2.
