New Twist In The Investigation Of A Man Threatening Police

All that police activity on the lower west side with streets being cordoned off and the SWAT team brought in came about because of a false call. 

It all began when police got a call from Snacks Convenience that a man armed with a shotgun was walking along King Street West threatening to shoot police. 

Two men were later arrested, one of them at a home on Rodney Street. 

When Police investigated further, a 59 year old man was charged with public mischief and leading police on a false investigation after it was determined that call to police from Snacks was a hoax and another 60 year old man was also charged with unsafely storing a firearm. 

The two will be appearing in court at a later date.
