A 25-year-old man is facing arson and robbery charges following an incident in Fort Frances last week.
OPP were called to a Scott Street business last Friday night around 8 o’clock, where they learned an employee was threatened with a needle previously used for intravenous drug use.
Three hours later, the suspect was spotted starting a fire in an enclosed area, close to an apartment building.
He was arrested, and the fire was extinguished.
Along with the robbery and assault charges, John Perrault is facing counts of Indecent Act, Mischief under 5 thousand dollars and possession of break-in tools.
