Police have charged a 20-year-old man from Alliston, Ont., in connection with allegedly making a threat against Premier Doug Ford.

The investigation began on Feb. 13 by the OPP Protective Services Section (PSS) and resulted in the man being arrested and charged with one count of uttering threats to cause harm.

The accused was released from custody and is scheduled to appear in court at a later date.
