Man charged following reported gun threat in Antigonish expected back in court

A suspect arrested after police responded to a complaint of a threat that involved a gun in Antigonish is scheduled to return to court Wednesday.

RCMP say a man threatened a woman in the town one afternoon in January.

They say he told her he had a gun in his vehicle.

Police say they seized a .22 calibre handgun, ammo, a baseball bat and a knife.

They say officers arrested John Francis Gerroir, 54, outside a home on Braemore Ave.

Gerroir, who has been in custody since his arrest, has been charged with several firearms offences, two counts of criminal harassment and one count of uttering threats; he’s expected for a fitness hearing in Antigonish Provincial Court after the hearing was adjourned Feb. 14.
