A Nanaimo man is facing multiple charges, including assault and firearms offences, following an early morning incident at a residence.
According to police, officers were called to a home just after midnight on March 27th, for a reported disturbance.
Police say an adult woman was allegedly assaulted during the incident but did not require medical attention.
By the time officers arrived, the suspect had already left the residence in a vehicle. While at the scene, police located and seized several firearms for safekeeping.
A short time later, officers located 46-year-old Darcy Chartrand in a parked vehicle nearby and arrested him without incident and held in custody.
Chartrand remained in custody until March 31st, when he appeared in court.
The BC Prosecution Service approved 11 charges against him, including assault and a number of firearms-related offences.
He has since been released on conditions and is scheduled to return to court on April 7th.
