Sudbury police respond to weapons call Police in Greater Sudbury say a man, 23, has been charged with pointing a firearm following an incident Tuesday in the city's West End.

Sudbury police say a weapons call about a man pointing a gun at a woman in the city’s West End on Tuesday afternoon led to multiple charges.

It happened around 3 p.m. Oct. 22 at a residential unit on Albinson Street that was supposed to be unoccupied, Greater Sudbury Police Service said in a news release Thursday morning.

"Upon entering the unit, the community member found two individuals inside the residence," police said.

"One of the individuals pointed a gun at the community member and told her to leave. The community member left and a short time later saw the individuals exit the residence."

Officers were dispatched to the scene shortly before 4 p.m. and didn’t find anyone inside the unit.

Investigators determined the same man previously pointed a gun at another person while at a Cedar Street home.

He is also believed to have shot the gun inside the Albinson Street unit on Oct. 21.

"No one was injured during these interactions," police said.

The suspect was arrested outside the Albinson Street residence shortly before 10:40 p.m. Tuesday.

The 23-year-old man has been charged with careless use of a firearm, weapon prohibited device or ammunition and two counts of pointing a firearm.

He was held in custody overnight and attended bail court Oct. 23.
