A 48-year-old Havelock woman is facing charges in connection to a weapons incident at Campbellford District High School on February 25 that resulted in a 15-year-old Havelock boy being arrested and charged.
Just after noon on February 25, Northumberland Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to a report of a student at the school making threatening comments and having weapons in his backpack.
After arriving at the school, officers took the accused student into custody without incident and seized a handgun, ammunition, and a number of edged weapons. Police charged him with six weapons-related offences as well as uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm.
As part of their investigation, police executed a search warrant at a home in Havelock the following day, where they seized multiple firearms, ammunition, and other weapons.
On Monday (March 3), police arrested a 48-year-old Havelock woman and charged her with 32 counts of careless storage of a firearm, weapon, prohibited device, or ammunition.
The accused woman is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Cobourg at a later date. Police are not releasing her name to protect the identity of the 15-year-old boy under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
