John's Beach man wanted for alleged firearm incident
CORNER BROOK The Western Star
The RCMP were looking for a John’s Beach man considered to be armed and dangerous as of press time Wednesday evening.
Larry Hickey, 39, was wanted on charges of uttering threats, pointing a firearm and careless use of a firearm as a result of an alleged incident in John’s Beach, a small community on the southern shore of the Bay of Islands, earlier in the day.
While some media outlets were reporting Hickey had allegedly discharged a weapon in the direction of an individual, the RCMP would not elaborate on the details of the incident which precipitated the search for Hickey.
The police are warning the general public not to approach Hickey if he is sighted.
Anyone with any information about Hickey’s whereabouts is asked to contact the RCMP in Corner Brook at 637-4433 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-363-8477.
