MEDINA – A Medina man is facing multiple weapons charges as well as resisting arrest after police officers responded to a menacing complaint on Monday afternoon.

While officers were in the area responding to the incident they located a man leaving the residence who matched the description of the suspect. When officers attempted to detain him, he resisted, Draper said.
