A Lunenburg County man is facing charges after an armed standoff with police.
Lunenburg County RCMP responded to a complaint last night of a combative, intoxicated man at an address on Italy Cross Road.
Police say they were immediately engaged in standoff with a male suspect who was brandishing a knife.
After a few minutes, the subject was subdued and taken into custody.
He will appear in Bridgewater Court later today to face charges of 'Breach of Probation' and 'Possession of a Weapon Dangerous to the Public Peace'.
Anyone with more information on this incident is asked to contact Lunenburg County RCMP or Crime Stoppers.
