As a result of the subsequent investigation, police located, arrested, and charged a 55-year-old Cobourg man with the Possession of a Weapon for a Dangerous Purpose, Uttering Threats – Cause death or Bodily Harm, and Carrying a Concealed Weapon.

The accused was later released on an undertaking with a court date of November 6, 2024.
