Police Alerted To A Gun At A Windsor Restaurant

A 20-year-old Windsor man is facing drug and weapon-related charges after an incident at a restaurant on Wyandotte St. E at Langlois Ave.

Officers were called around 8:15pm on Sunday, after a man was spotted sitting with a gun in his waistband.

The suspect was quickly arrested and searched.

Police say the gun was actually an air pistol. They also seized an illegal knife and a small amount of marijuana from the suspect.

The Windsor Police Service is reminding the public that, even from a short distance away, members of the public and officers have a hard time figuring out if a replica is a real weapon or not. Officers respond to calls and treat replicas as real firearms, until proven otherwise.
