A man in Lytton was arrested over the weekend for reportedly threatening family members with a gun and sharp objects.

On Monday (June 3), Lytton RCMP say officers received a call of a man who had been drinking a lot of alcohol and was allegedly threatening family members in their house with sharp objects. RCMP say officers learned on scene that the man had also reportedly pointed a gun at a family member.
