A Hampton man has been charged after a firearm was discharged in Darlings Island, according to RCMP.
Police responded to the firearm-related complaint on Darlings Island shortly before 10:30 p.m. last Wednesday.
Officers arrested a 45-year-old man outside of a residence and seized a firearm as part of the investigation.
“At the time, police believed the incident to have been isolated, and that there was no danger to the general public,” RCMP said in a news release on Tuesday.
The accused appeared in court the following day and was charged with break and enter, possessing a non-restricted firearm and careless use of a firearm.
He has since been remanded into custody and ordered to undergo a 30-day psychiatric assessment.
Police said no one was hurt during the incident.
