Occurrence #: BA16052097

Date: Sunday, October 16, 2016 – 9:05pm

Barrie Police Officers were called to residence after two males showed up at the door, one with a knife, threatening to hurt someone if a debt owed wasn’t paid.

On Sunday, October 16th, 2016 at 9:05pm two males attended a residence located on Shelly Lane, in the City of Barrie, looking for a female who owed them some money. One male brandished a small knife and threated the person who opened the door. A brief argument ensued and then the two males fled without anyone getting hurt. It is believed the debt was drug related and the males were known to the victim. The suspect with the knife was located at a residence on Eden Drive just before midnight and placed under arrest. The 22-year-old Barrie male was charged with Possession of a Weapon for Dangerous Purpose, Uttering Threats to Cause Death or Bodily Harm and Failing to Comply with Probation. He was held for a bail hearing Monday morning.
