City police have filed charges after officers responded to calls of a firearm inside a hotel room on Seymour Street on Sunday.
The North Bay Police Service says the hotel was temporarily evacuated to ensure the safety of the public and hotel guest as officers secured the scene.
Police say a person was taken into custody without incident, and a firearm was seized.
“Officers responded swiftly to a potentially dangerous situation,” says Inspector Scott McFarlane. “Through effective use of patience, negotiations, and teamwork, the incident was resolved safely without harm to anyone involved.”
Charges include possession of a weapon for dangerous purpose and careless use of a firearm.
