At approximately 3 p.m., "officers began an investigation and developed grounds to believe the accused was in possession of a replica firearm," says a news release from the Sault Ste. Marie Police Service.

As a result, 19-year-old Alex Megginson was arrested and charged with:
    •    Possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose
    •    Fail to comply with release order

Megginson was held in custody to await a bail hearing.
