A Lindsay, Ont., man facing charges for allegedly breaking into an apartment was carrying a crossbow when he was confronted by a tenant, according to a court document filed in the case that has sparked debate about Canada's self-defence law.
The apartment resident, Jeremy David McDonald, is also facing assault charges in the Aug. 18 incident — a fact that has generated widespread interest in the case.
Police information filed in court alleges that Michael Kyle Breen damaged a window and screen at McDonald's home and carried a crossbow.
