A Pictou County man has been arrested for threatening a snow plow operator and unsafe firearm storage.

It happened Tuesday on Mount William Road, as officers responded to a report of threats made by a 66-year old man.

He was then arrested at his place in New Glasgow by police and RCMP.

The next day, a search warrant of the home turned up firearms and ammunition.

The man was released on conditions and will appear in court in April.
