RCMP issues terrorism peace bond after 3D-printed firearm found in P.E.I. home
The RCMP has issued a terrorism peace bond for a 50-year-old man after officers found 3D-printed firearm components at a Prince Edward Island home in February.
Officers received information that Daniel Desmond Crowder was allegedly threatening individuals and organizations online on Feb. 24, according to an RCMP news release. Police arrested Crowder and seized the firearm components at his residence.
Crowder was charged with:
uttering threats
possession of a prohibited weapon
possession of a weapon while prohibited
possession of a firearm
two counts of possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose
possession of computer data for manufacturing firearms
firearms manufacturing
Crowder was released from custody on strict conditions on July 23. The RCMP also sought a terrorism peace bond, which was entered into court on Aug. 18.
'A terrorism peace bond is a tool police can apply to the court for with a view to putting conditions on individuals when they fear that a person may commit a terrorism offence,' said Cpl. Gavin Moore, media relations officer for the P.E.I. RCMP, in the release. 'Given the information that was gathered from the investigation police believe that this is the most appropriate course of action against Crowder at this time. He must now obey the conditions of the peace bond.'
