A Toronto man is facing weapons and other charges after allegedly pulling out a hammer to avoid paying a bar tab in Guelph. Guelph police say just before 1 a.m. Saturday, officers were called to an establishment downtown. Police say a man tried to leave without paying his bill and was confronted by an employee. The man allegedly took a hammer from his tool belt and held it over his head while saying he wasn’t going to pay. Officers arrived a short time later and found the man nearby. A 30-year-old Toronto man has been charged with possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose, food fraud and failing to comply with a release order. He was held for a bail hearing and has been released. His court date is scheduled for May 17.
