Inspector Mike Bowman Area Commander Southland says the Milford Road (SH94)was closed by Police at Chain Bay due to an incident where a firearm was discharged just after 9am this morning.
A person reportedly fired shots at a vehicle at the Henry Creek Campsite in Te Anau, left the campsite and drove towards Milford Sound.
Police located the driver of the vehicle a short time later and he was taken into custody without further incident.
No one else is sought in relation to the matter and the road is now open.
The 35-year-old man will be appearing in court later today to face firearms charges.
Any witnesses to the incident are encouraged to contact 105 and reference event number: P055861483.
