A 32-year-old woman who was already in custody at the Algoma Treatment and Remand Centre was arrested again on Tuesday after two rifles and four magazines were found in her residence.
On Oct. 24 the accused was arrested for failing to attend court and 25 associated bench warrant charges.
She was held in custody pending a bail hearing and subsequently remanded into custody at the Algoma Treatment and Remand Centre.
On Oct. 25 a property management company found the two rifles and four magazines inside the accused’s unit, which were turned over to police, a news release said.
“At around 12:30 p.m. on Nov. 4, detectives attended the ATRC and arrested the accused.”
Melinda Robinson is charged with:
- Careless Storage of Firearm, Weapon, Prohibited Device, or Ammunition x4

Back in May, Robinson was charged for several weapons offences and for threatening to harm a dog that was with the police service's canine unit.
The accused continues to be held in custody at the ATRC.
None of the allegations have been tested in court and the accused is considered innocent until proven guilty.
