A local man is facing charges after reports surfaced of a man on Grand Avenue West in Chatham with what appeared to be a gun in his coat. 

Officers found the man and say the weapon was in fact a BB gun. The accused is also believed to have been involved in domestic-related offences. 

The 24-year-old of no fixed address has been charged with possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, criminal harassment, and two counts of mischief under $5000.

He was held in custody for a bail hearing and released with a date in court on February 14th.
