Male with Knife on City Bus Arrested

A Guelph man bound by several weapons prohibitions was arrested after he was observed with a knife on a bus Saturday night.

Approximately 9:20 p.m. a Guelph Transit operator reported a male on the bus acting suspiciously, repeatedly opening and closing a folding knife. He exited the bus at the University of Guelph and was detained by officers from the Campus Safety Office.

Guelph Police Service officers arrived and determined the male was bound by several court orders not to possess weapons. A 19-year-old Guelph man is charged with possessing a prohibited weapon and three counts of failing to comply with orders. He was held for bail and has been released to appear in court November 8.
