A man is facing numerous charges following an incident Wednesday that led to a heavy police presence in town and a hold-and-secure situation at a Midland high school.
Police responded to a Frazer Drive residence shortly after 9 a.m. The road was closed between Rose Crescent and Park Avenue, and nearby St. Theresa’s Catholic High School was in hold-and-secure mode out of “an abundance of caution,” police said.
Michael John Ransom, 44, of Midland, has been charged with the following:
- Possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose
- Uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm (five counts)
- Mischief (obstructs, interrupts or interferes with any person in the lawful use, enjoyment or operation of property)
- Mischief (destroys or damages property)
- Uttering threats to damage property
He is being held in custody pending a bail hearing.
