A 24-year-old man has been charged following a disturbance in Lower New Cornwall.

RCMP say on Friday just after 2:30 a.m., officers responded to a report that a man was outside a Cornwall Road residence yelling that he was going to kill the homeowner and would shoot police upon arrival.

He was then seen going toward a nearby residence on Old Head Line Road on an ATV and could be heard firing shots into the air.

Investigators also found he had damaged a parked vehicle at the property on Cornwall Road.

Police later found and arrested him at a nearby home.

He remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in Bridgewater Provincial Court on Tuesday.
