A 32-year-old Medicine Hat man has been charged after allegedly brandishing a weapon at a downtown business.
The Medicine Hat Police Service on May 26 responded to a firearms complaint reported at a business in the 100 block of First Street Southeast.
An employee had asked a man to leave the business as he had previously been banned from entry by staff, police said in a Wednesday news release.
The man left but later returned to the store and pointed a handgun at the staff member, according to the release.
