When the police arrived the fight had stopped and officers began an investigation into the disturbance. Officers approached a man who they were told was directly involved in the disturbance and tried to ask basic information related to the incident. The man had been drinking and became very belligerent and would not stop swearing and he was arrested. The man resisted and a struggle ensued. Once the man was handcuffed and under control officers conducted a search of him and located four knives and a .22 caliber handgun.
The 26 year old Sarnia man is charged with careless use of a firearm, carrying a concealed weapon, unauthorized possession of a firearm and resisting arrest. The accused is being held pending a bail hearing.
