(Ken Linton/CBC)A 51-year-old man from Queens County, P.E.I., who’s facing multiple charges from earlier this year related to 3D-printed weapons and uttering threats is now subject to a terrorism peace bond, RCMP said in a news release.The man was arrested in February after Queen’s District RCMP received information that he had been making online threats against individuals and organizations.During his arrest, officers seized 3D-printed firearm components from his home.He faces eight charges, including uttering threats, possession of a weapon while under a court-ordered prohibition, firearms manufacturing, possession of computer data for manufacturing firearms, possession of a firearm, possession of a prohibited weapon, and two counts of possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.The release said he was released from custody on July 23 under strict conditions.Cpl. Gavin Moore, media relations for the P.E.I. RCMP, says this is only the second time such an agreement has been used in the province, to his knowledge. (Sheehan Desjardins/CBC)RCMP Federal Policing – Eastern Region, which includes members of the P.E.I. RCMP, then sought a terrorism peace bond, which the accused entered into on Aug. 18.Cpl. Gavin Moore, media relations for the police force on Prince Edward Island, said terrorism peace bonds are not criminal charges, but rather lay out a set of conditions the accused must follow for a one-year period. Moore said, to his knowledge, this is only the second time such an agreement has been used on P.E.I. The mandatory minimum sentence for firearms manufacturing in Canada is one year in jail, up to a maximum of 10 years. (Ken Linton/CBC)”They have essentially agreed to enter into the conditions that have been asked of them,” Moore told CBC News on Monday. “These conditions provide extra protections to the public and help to prevent the individual from being in a position where they may be of greater danger to the public.” Some of the conditions include: That he not leave the province without prior consent of police. He is prohibited from accessing the internet or possessing any device capable of accessing the internet. He is subject to a electronic monitoring program. That he not associate with anyone who he knows or believes to participate “in the activities of a terrorist group or who aids, abets, counsels or threatens terrorist activity.” That he does not “own, possess or carry any objects, literature or documents with the logo of a terrorist group,” as defined by the Criminal Code of Canada. RCMP said based on the accused’s online comments, the material seized from his home and the weapons recovered, police believe they have reason to fear that he may commit a terrorism offence.CorrectionsAn earlier version of this story had the wrong age for the Queens County man facing charges. He was 50 when he was arrested but has since turned 51. Aug 19, 2025 12:14 PM EDTWith files from Connor Lamont
