A Georgian College student faces charges after posting threatening messages and photos on the Internet last week. The 27-year-old student reportedly uploaded images of himself posing with illegal guns and wrote of plans to carry out property damage to the city of Barrie.

Police were notified and seized the student on his way to class. Though the weapons were not in his immediate possession, police took him into custody after they determined he had twice the legal amount of alcohol in his body.

Georgian College President Brian Tamblyn later reassured that the messages posed no immediate threat to the school.
