The Brantford Police Service has confirmed that a 31-year-old local man was arrested following a weapons-related call in Brantford, Ontario, on March 27, 2026. Because the arrest involved police, the province’s Special Investigations Unit has taken over the investigation.
Officers responded to a report of a threatened assault involving a weapon at approximately 4:20 a.m. on March 27. The man was taken into custody without any physical injuries reported to the public or to the responding officers.
The arrested man is facing several charges, including carrying a concealed weapon, failure to comply with court orders, failing to attend court, and possession of a weapon contrary to an order. While the local police are prohibited from releasing further details due to the ongoing external investigation, the Special Investigations Unit has classified the incident as a custody injury investigation.
Under the Special Investigations Unit Act, 2019, the independent agency investigates any interaction between police and the public that results in death, serious injury, allegations of sexual assault, or the discharge of a firearm at a person. The agency aims to complete its investigations within 120 days. Any further questions regarding this case can be directed to the agency’s communications team at [email protected].
