A 35 year old man from Cut Knife has been charged after he was reported for pointing a firearm inside of Lloydminster City Hall yesterday (Thursday).

Lloydminster RCMP responded to the report within minutes and intercepted the suspect as he was leaving. He was arrested without incident and a search incidental to the arrest revealed a replica firearm.

As a result of the arrest, Stephen Thunderblanket was charged with possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, using an imitation firearm in commission of an offence, carrying a concealed weapon, uttering threats and possession of property obtained by crime under $5000.

He was brought before a justice of the peace and remanded into custody. Thunderblanket is set to appear before the Lloydminster Provincial Court on January 13th.
