He will make a court appearance today.
Reports indicated that the butcher made a police report that the businessman threatened him. This resulted in a search for the alleged suspect. He was apprehended in his car in the vicinity of the Vreed-en-Hoop Police Station.
An unlicensed pistol with eight live rounds was allegedly retrieved from the floor of the car. Police said they also found a cutlass and a large piece of wood in the vehicle.
