Officers searched the area and located the machete with the assistance of a police dog, Adams said.

Surrey Provincial Court records show a Lance Flegel appeared before a judge on Monday, Jan. 23, on a charge of possession of weapon for a dangerous purpose in connection with the Sunday incident.

He was also charged with mischief and breach of a probation order.

Flegel, who was listed as in custody, will return to court on Feb. 13.
