A search of the unit located brass knuckles and an imitation handgun, police said in a release.
A man was arrested.

- Possession of Firearm or Weapon Contrary to Prohibition Order x2
- Possession of Imitation Firearm
- Unauthorized Possession of Weapon
McDonald was released on an undertaking and is scheduled to appear in court on June 16.
None of the allegations have been tested in court and McDonald is considered innocent until proven guilty.
