A Barrie man accused of carrying a loaded semi-automatic weapon in a fanny pack around his waist faces multiple charges after officers attended a call for a disturbance.

Police say they responded to a call on Saturday at a home in the Penetang and Mulcaster streets area to find a man with a knife.
