A 38-year-old Digby County man is facing firearms charges.

He was arrested after a traffic stop on Highway 101 in Plympton on Wednesday.

Digby RCMP say this was after the suspect allegedly threatened another man he knew after a verbal altercation.

Police then searched a residence on Bloomfield Road and found two firearms, ammunition and a crossbow.

One of the firearms was loaded.

He appeared in court Thursday.
