A man is facing charges after pointing what was believed to be a firearm at police early this morning.

Shortly after 1:00 a.m., June 4, 2025, patrol officers were responding to a call for service when they were waved down by a citizen in the area of 20th Street West and Avenue V South regarding a person walking in the middle of the street a short distance away. When officers approached the male, he turned and appeared to point a firearm at them. While attempting to investigate further, the male again pointed what appeared to be a handgun in their direction. The suspect was eventually taken into custody without further incident and police seized an imitation handgun.

The 48-year-old is charged with Assaulting a Police Officer (x2) and Possession of an Imitation Weapon for Purpose of Committing an Offence.
