MOOSE JAW - The Moose Jaw Police Service has charged an 18-year-old male with several weapon-related offences following an incident on Aug. 2.
Police responded to a weapons call after learning that an individual was pointing a firearm at a group of people near Langdon Crescent.
The man had been concealing the gun — later identified as a pellet gun — in a bag before taking it out and intimidating the group.
Police eventually arrested the male without incident. They also learned that the accused and the group knew each other, and the incident was not random.
There were no injuries because of the incident.
Police charged the 18-year-old male with assault with a weapon, carrying a weapon for a purpose dangerous to public peace, pointing a firearm, and carrying a concealed weapon.
The male will appear in Moose Jaw Provincial Court at a later date.
Anyone with further information should contact CRIME STOPPERS at 1-800-222-8477 or the Moose Jaw Police Service at 306-694-7600.
