A man who allegedly pointed a firearm inside a needle-ridden drug house has been arrested.

Michael Junior Aslin, 30, turned himself into RCMP on Monday, Cpl. Craig Douglass said, and remains in custody.

He faces one count of pointing a firearm and two counts of assault with a weapon from an alleged Nov. 19 incident at 1837 Spruce St.

RCMP were called to a report of a man pointing a firearm inside the home and ended up arresting 15 people although Aslin got away.

RCMP said they also came across thousands of used needles strewn about the home and described it as a flop house for drug addicts.

One of those arrested, Douglas Wayne Joseph, 30, faces seven mostly-firearms-related charges including one count each of careless storage of a firearm and possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose. He also remains in custody.

Another 14 people were arrested at the Spruce Street home and later released on documents to appear in court at a later date.

Aslin also continues to face a charge of assault from an alleged Sept. 20, 2014 incident.
