A 28-year-old man is facing charges after a person was spotted threatening people with what appeared to be a handgun in Woodstock.
Police received 911 calls about the incident in the area of Mohawk Street and Iroquois Crescent just after 12:30 a.m. on Saturday. Witnesses told police a man was threatening people with a gun.
Officers arrived on scene and blocked off the area. The London police canine unit, along with Woodstock drug intelligence unit and criminal investigations branch, arrested a suspect shortly after.
A CO2 powered pellet gun was seized, police said.
A Woodstock man has since been charged with possession of a firearm while prohibited, pointing a firearm, and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose. He is scheduled to appear in court in relation to the charges on October 10.
