A search of the man found an "18 inch long bar taped object, an empty magazine for a pellet gun, and a 24 inch extendable baton," says the release.

"The only thing ever even remotely relating to a gun that was discovered was the magazine for a pellet gun," Grant said.

"Other than the comments in the original call, there is no evidence to suggest there were any gunshots."

A 36-year-old Guelph man was charged with assault with a weapon and weapon dangerous, as a result.

Later that night

The release says the man was released from the Guelph police station around 9:10 p.m. that same night.

As part of that release, there were several conditions, including not to go within 50 metres of the apartment building.

Police say they received a call around 10:20 p.m. that a man was once again running around the same building, now threatening people with a baseball bat.

"Further investigation revealed that the male entered the apartment building at 9:19 p.m., only 9 minutes after he was released," says the release.

Police say they once again found the man, this time around 2:14 a.m. on April 24.

He was arrested, and now faces the additional charge of failing to comply with an undertaking.

The man was held in custody pending a bail hearing on April 24th.
