Two Niagara Region residents are facing drugs and weapon charges after a gun was pulled out in a bitter dispute among friends.
Niagara Police were called to the scene in the Wallace Avenue and Paul Street in Welland on Monday (August 2) after 9 pm to deal with a fight in progress.
In the course of investigating the fight, the police discovered one man in the argument had allegedly pulled out a gun. However, he fled the scene in a car before their arrival.
Eventually, the police found his car parked at a house in the north end of St Catharines which led to a drawn-out overnight negotiation involving the Emergency Task Unit, Canine Unit and Crisis Negotiators to get the suspect to come out.
Finally at 5:45 am on August 3, the suspect came out and gave himself up for arrest.
Javante Weston, 26, of Niagara Falls is facing charges of pointing a firearm, assault with a weapon, possession of illegal drugs for trafficking and possession of cash from crimes.
