• one count, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, Section 88(1), Criminal Code; and
• one count, possession of a firearm knowing possession is unauthorized, Section 92(1), Criminal Code.

He appeared in court on Tuesday and was released on conditions that include:

• Staying inside his approved residence 24 hours a day. This condition will be electronically monitored as per his conditions.
• Not attend any area that children (below the age of 16) are typically present for the purposes of schooling or recreation.
