A Hamilton man is facing several weapons charges following an incident early Monday morning (August 31) in Stoney Creek where police used a Taser to subdue him.
In a press release sent Tuesday (September 1), Hamilton Police say they were called to a home in the area of Green Road and North Service Road shortly after midnight on Monday to reports of a disturbance.
A man was reportedly banging on the door of a home in the area. Police say the man left and shortly afterwards a resident of the home returned and after hearing about the incident, retrieved his firearm from inside and began pacing around his front yard.
Officers responded and secured the area as verbal attempts were made to peacefully resolve the matter.
