A man wanted on an active warrant was spotted by a Barrie police officer in the downtown area around 7 a.m. on Sunday, and despite the suspect's attempt to evade arrest, he failed.
Police say after noticing the officer, the man tried to evade him by ducking behind a building and keeping his head down.
"When the officer caught up to the individual and attempted to make the arrest, he resisted but was quickly restrained and taken into custody," police stated in a news release.
During the arrest, the officer found the suspect had two concealed weapons, which police told Barrie 360 were a hunting knife and a hatchet.
The 28-year-old from Barrie faces multiple charges, including resisting arrest, carrying concealed weapons, failure to comply with a release order, and failure to comply with a probation order.
