A 21-year-old man remains behind bars after being charged with allegedly threatening two people with a firearm in January.
Kyle Williams was refused bail last week after appearing in court facing several firearm and stalking charges relating to an incident on Sunday 11 January this year where it’s alleged a man threatened two people – a man in his 50s and a woman aged in her 30s – with a pistol before leaving the scene prior to police arriving.
Police arrested a man earlier this month after receiving reports of a man wearing a balaclava in the vicinity of Macintyre Street and subsequently arrested him after he allegedly failed to comply with police direction – before taking him to Inverell Police Station.
During the arrest, police allegedly located and seized a small firearm pistol and two live .22 calibre rounds in the man’s pockets.
Williams was charged with several firearm offences as well as stalking, intimidation, disguising or blackening face with intent to commit an indictable offence and failing to comply with police direction.
The matter returns to Inverell Local Court tomorrow
