Editor’s Note: It is now common knowledge that if you are being arrested for anything and want to remain anonymous, simply assault a loved one and the police will withhold your name.

As a result of the police investigation, a 36-year-old of the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury has been charged with the following Criminal Code offences:

  • Assault with a weapon – two counts
  • Possession of a weapon for dangerous purpose
