On August 14 at 4 a.m., police responded to a call from Adams Lake Security which stated a man in the Adams Lake community was firing a semi-automatic rifle, and appeared to be attempting to scare someone.

“Investigation showed that the man had been making threats against a woman and another person, then came out of his house on Chief Jules Drive, firing his gun into the air about 30 times,” said Sgt.

A search warrant on the residence was executed, which resulted in the seizure of numerous firearms, ammunition and marijuana. The unidentified man was later released on a promise to appear and undertaking with conditions.
