A Guelph male who allegedly brandished a knife during an argument with neighbours last April was granted bail Saturday after missing court for a third time.

Guelph police were conducting an investigation on Bagot Street Friday afternoon when they spoke to a male. Investigation revealed the male was wanted for missing a court date in December related to pulling a knife on two neighbours last April. He had also previously missed court dates in June and August and each time was arrested for failing to appear.

A 26-year-old Guelph male was once again arrested for failing to appear in court. He was held for a bail hearing Saturday, during which he was released to appear in a Guelph court March 1.
