* Unauthorized possession of a weapon,
* Possession of a firearm, ammunition contrary to prohibition order,

The man remains in custody and is scheduled for a bail hearing on Friday.

Four days earlier, the same man had been charged in connection with an incident at a local motel where another person was assaulted and taken to hospital for treatment.
