The RCMP in Clarenville arrested 27-year-old Ashton Robert White on July 23, after responding to a disturbance at home in the community.

White now faces 18 charges, including assault, uttering threats and firearms-related offences.

Police were called to a residence in Clarenville on Wednesday following a possible assault. White had left the home, but was located by the RCMP, arrested and held in custody. Officers also searched a cabin in Princeton on Friday as part of the active investigation. During the search, police located and seized a number of firearms.

White is currently being held in custody and faces nine weapons-related charges and 10 additional criminal charges of assault while choking, three counts of assault, uttering threats, counsel to commit suicide, mischief under $5,000, and two counts of failure to comply with a release order.

The investigation is ongoing, with additional charges possible.

White will appear in Clarenville Provincial Court this afternoon.
