A 36-year-old man from Richibucto, N.B., has been charged with uttering threats following a investigation that also resulted in the seizure of drugs.

On November 28, 2020, members of the Richibucto RCMP responded to a report of threats at a home on Main Street. A man fled the scene before police arrived.

Later that evening, police responded to a report of a disturbance involving the same individual. A 36-year-old man was arrested at the scene. During the arrest, police seized a quantity of what is believed to be methamphetamine, a weapon, drug paraphernalia and an amount of money.

On November 29, Jean-Yves Martin appeared in Moncton Provincial Court by way of tele-remand and was charged with one count of uttering threats. He was remanded into custody and is scheduled to appear in Moncton Provincial Court on December 2, for a show cause hearing.

The investigation into the drug seizure is continuing.
