Somewhere in the middle — and that's okay.

Responding officers learned that a Hyundai Elantra and a Mazda CX-5, travelling in the same direction, collided in the 6300 block of Hwy. 14, and, immediately following the collision, the driver of the Elantra pointed a firearm at the driver of the Mazda CX-5. The driver of the CX-5, a 40-year-old Greenfield woman, drove away from the collision and called police. The driver of the Elantra, a 23-year-old Upper Rawdon man also soon called police to report the collision.

Officers located both vehicles, and arrested the man for Pointing a Firearm. Two airsoft pistols were seized from the man’s vehicle, one of which closely resembled a black handgun.

The man was later released from custody and will attend Shubenacadie Provincial Court on March 24, 2025.
