Suspect in custody after stand-off with police
Windsor Police Service has arrested a 48-year-old man who was wielding dangerous weapons and uttering death threats toward a neighbour.
On June 12, 2023, at approximately 7 p.m. police received two separate complaints advising that a suspect was using both a knife and axe to utter threats to a neighbour.
