Summerside man faces multiple charges after alleged domestic violence incidents
A 35-year-old Prince Edward Island man was arrested after alleged domestic violence-related incidents in the Summerside area.
Charlottetown police received a report of the incidents, which allegedly involved a firearm, on Wednesday evening, according to a news release from the Charlottetown Police Services.
The alleged incidents happened in multiple jurisdictions — Summerside and the western Prince County area — which is why Charlottetown police enlisted the help of the P.E.I. RCMP, the release says.
Police say they received information Friday that the suspect was at a Pownal Street residence in Charlottetown.
Early that afternoon, a police team, including the crisis negotiation team, arrested the man at the Pownal Street residence.
The news release says he will answer to 21 charges, including:
- pointing a firearm
- assault with a weapon
- uttering threats
- possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose
- possessing a firearm while being prohibited from doing so
The 35-year-old man will remain in custody. He is set to appear in court Saturday, the release says.
