An Omemee, Ont., man is facing weapons and other charges following an incident at a business in Peterborough on Thursday.
Around noon, Peterborough Police Service officers say a temporary employee at a Pido Road business threatened others and refused to leave the worksite when asked by management.
Police also learned the man had “flashed a gun” before running away from the area and hiding.
Officers found the man walking away from the area and arrested him. A search of his backpack located a knife and cocaine and a BB-style firearm was found in a location where the suspect had been hiding, police said.
The 22-year-old man was charged with two counts of uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm, three counts of failure to comply with a probation order, and one count each of possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, carrying a concealed weapon, and possession of a Schedule 1 substance.
The accused was released on an undertaking and is scheduled to appear in court in Peterborough on June 30.
