SASKATOON — A 36-year-old man is facing weapons charges following an incident Thursday evening where staff at a Saskatoon business were threatened with what appeared to be a gun, say police.
At approximately 9:30 p.m., on Aug. 20, an officer was at a business on the city’s east side, in the 2000 block of 8th Street East, on another matter and staff reported told him that an unknown male had just left the store after threatening them with a gun.
The male was quickly located outside and found to be in possession of a knife. An air soft pistol was found on the ground beside him. He was taken into custody without incident and found to have firearm prohibitions from Saskatoon, Buffalo Narrows, Warman and Grand Cache, Alberta.
He now faces two counts of possession of a weapon dangerous to the public peace and a number of firearm related charges.
