A disturbance at a Gananoque business led to a tense police encounter at a west-end home later that morning.
Gananoque Police say officers responded to a local business Nov. 11, but the person involved had already left.
Police later tracked the individual to a residence in the west end of town.
During a brief interaction outside, officers say the person pulled out a knife before retreating back inside.
Ontario Provincial Police were called in to assist, and the individual was eventually arrested safely.
The accused is being held for a bail hearing and faces charges including assault with a weapon, possession of a weapon dangerous to the public peace, assaulting a police officer and mischief under $5,000.
Police say no further details will be released while the matter is before the courts.
The charges have not been proven in court.
