Hours after posting a photo of a man deemed armed and dangerous, Waterloo Regional Police say they arrested a man at a licensed establishment in Uptown Waterloo.
Officials first issued a statement Friday that they had reason to arrest Clayton Hirtle, 22, in connection with a May 9 incident in downtown Kitchener.
On Saturday, police said they arrested Hirtle without incident around 11:45 p.m. the night before at an authorized establishment in the King Street and Bridgeport Road area.
Officers were originally called to the Queen Street South and Charles Street area on May 9 to receive reports of shootings.

Police said they had reason to charge Hirtle with the following offenses:
- Unauthorized firearm tension
- Have a weapon for dangerous purposes
- Discharge of firearm – recklessness
- Reckless use of firearm, weapon, ammunition
- Carry a concealed weapon
- Firearm or weapon: possession contrary to the prohibition order
