A 46-year-old man from Dorchester has been charged with assault with a weapon and a number of other charges. Cory Kevin Lucci was arrested by Sackville RCMP on October 19 in Dorchester, and has appeared in court twice since, but remains in police custody.

In addition to assault with a weapon, Lucci is charged with uttering threats, unlawful possession of a weapon, possession of fentanyl, oxycodone and cannabis for the purposes of trafficking, and impaired driving.
