An unwanted visitor has led to charges for two Kingston men.
Police said at 5 p.m. on Monday, a 34-year-old man wandered onto a property without permission at Elliot Avenue in Kingston’s north end, which had been an ongoing issue.
This time, the property tenant, Brock Smith, confronted the man while holding a Glock pellet pistol, which police said resembled a real pistol.
Smith chased the man north on Division Street, eventually leading to a physical altercation between the two.

Police said Smith returned to his residence five minutes later, where police eventually arrested him and seized the pellet pistol.
