During the search, police say officers found a BB gun, suspected oxycodone, a functioning scale and other drug paraphernalia.

A 36-year-old man from Guelph is facing a number of charges including assault, uttering death threats, carrying a concealed weapon, possession for the purpose of trafficking and two counts of breaching court orders.
