Barrie police were sent to an east end home shortly before 11 p.m. on Sunday after paramedics at a medical-related call reported a man within the residence seen brandishing a firearm.
Upon arrival at the Ottaway Avenue residence, officers, along with the K9 Unit, established a containment area around the home.
"After some time, the male approached the front door but refused to show his hands. A conducted energy weapon (CEW) was successfully deployed, and the male was taken into custody without further incident," police said in a news release.
A search warrant was later executed at the residence, resulting in the recovery of several long guns, knives, and ammunition from the residence.
A 61-year-old Barrie man is charged with:
- Possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose
- Unauthorized possession of a weapon
- Knowledge of unauthorized possession of a firearm
- Careless storage of a firearm
The investigation remains ongoing. No injuries were reported.
