A man was arrested on the Centennial Dock in Ganges after witnesses reported seeing what appeared to be a handgun pointed at another man.
Salt Spring RCMP responded Thursday after one of the witnesses placed a 911 call and gave a description of the suspect.
A man was taken into custody a short distance from the docks and found to have a replica pellet gun.
Charges of possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and uttering threats are being recommended.
The man has a Nov. 19 court appearance.
