A Goulais River man faces criminal charges after police say he threatened to shoot a neighbour's dogs and then "approached" the neighbour in question while holding a firearm.
Officers from Sault Ste. Marie OPP responded to a weapons call at a Robertson Lake Road address shortly after 11 p.m. on Nov. 8.
As a result of this investigation, 31-year-old Jason Hampleman was arrested and charged with:
• Uttering threats - injure animal
• Possession of weapon for dangerous purpose
• Unauthorized possession of a firearm
• Failure to comply with release order
Hampleman was held for a bail hearing, and remanded into custody.
None of the allegations have been tested in court and the suspect is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
