A 30-year-old man is facing weapons charges after bringing an airsoft BB gun into a store in Morris on Tuesday.
Employees of the Main Street business contacted police at around 2:25 p.m. to report a man walked in with a handgun in the waistband of his pants. He was behaving erratically and believed to be intoxicated by drugs.
Police say the man didn’t threaten anymore while inside the business. He was asked to wait for an employee to assist him in an office as police arrived.
RCMP officers set up a perimeter and all employees exited the building safely.
The Morris man was arrested without incident.
He has been charged with possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, carrying a concealed weapon and failing to comply with an undertaking.
