Southern Georgian Bay OPP made a gunpoint arrest at a motel in Midland on Monday morning.
OPP say two 911 calls came in around 12:45 a.m. by staff from the motel on King Street - who reported suspicious persons on the property possibly breaking into vehicles.
Upon arrival, officers say they were directed inside the motel to a possible ongoing assault incident and encountered an involved, lone, agitated individual who produced an edged weapon during interaction with police.
The suspect was arrested at gunpoint.
A 39-year-old Midland man faces charges including possession of a weapon for dangerous purposes, and causing a disturbance.
The accused was released from police custody on a recognizance to appear before Ontario court in January 2023.
