Suspect arrested at gun point
A man from Fort Erie is facing charges after police responded to a weapon call.
Around 8:05 p.m. last night, officers were called to a parking lot on Drummond Road near Dunn Street.
Witnesses told police that a man got out of a black BMW SUV and was holding, manipulating, pointing and loading a large capacity rifle.
Police say the man was still holding the weapon when they arrived, and he was arrested at gun point.
He became violent during the arrest, and kicked two officers in the chest during the struggle.
The suspect was eventually secured into the police car.
Investigators say the rifle was determined to be a replica firearm, though there was no initial indication of that (e.g. orange tip).
It was a completely black Airsoft carbine rifle with a working slide and removable magazines.
Officers also searched the BMW, and found a bag that contained the following:
- 3.5g grams of suspected blue Fentanyl
- 2.7g grams of suspected pink Fentanyl
- 2.5g grams of suspected Crystal Methamphetamine
- 7.5g grams of suspected Cocaine
- $4150 CDN Currency
