A Sarnia man is facing more than a dozen charges in an Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) investigation.
Sarnia police were called to the five corners area on Mitton Street South around 5 p.m. on April 18, after it was reported that a man inside the home was causing a disturbance while in possession of a firearm.
The initial caller was able to leave the residence. As officers secured the area, a shelter‑in‑place advisory was issued to nearby homes.
Negotiators established communication with the suspect, who confirmed he had a firearm.
After an hour of negotiations, police teams successfully negotiated the suspect’s arrest.
The shelter‑in‑place advisory was lifted, and there were no injuries.
A search warrant was later executed at the residence, resulting in the seizure of firearms.
The man was for bail on 13 charges, including two counts of possession of a prohibited firearm with ammunition.
As this incident was the result of an IPV investigation, the accused's name is being withheld to protect the identity of the victim.
