REGINA — Thirty-nine-year-old Justin McKay is scheduled to stand trial in May in Regina Provincial Court.
McKay faces multiple charges, including with three counts of possession of a firearm contrary to a prohibition order, possession of ammunition contrary to prohibition order, careless storage of a firearm, carrying a concealed weapon, possession of a firearm when unauthorized, possession of a loaded prohibited firearm, resisting arrest, and unauthorized possession of a prohibited device or ammunition in a vehicle.
McKay was arrested on Aug. 30, 2025, after Regina police patrol officers were working with the Aerial Support Unit (ASU) investigating a series of break and enters in the 800 block of Athol Street. During the investigation, ASU officers observed a vehicle leaving the area where a male matching the description of the break and enter suspect was last seen.
Patrol officers conducted a traffic stop. One of the two male passengers got out and fled on foot. The Regina Police Service (RPS) Canine Unit tracked him to a large fence, where he again ignored commands and ran. He was arrested a short distance away. The second suspect remained at the scene and was arrested without further incident
Police later determined neither man was responsible for the break and enters. But a search of the vehicle uncovered a loaded sawed-off rifle, a loaded magazine, various quantities of illicit drugs, and alcohol.
The second man, 27-year-old Dylan Poorman was charged with several firearms offences, including possession of a firearm contrary to a prohibition order, possession of ammunition contrary to a prohibition order, careless storage of a firearm, carrying a concealed weapon, unauthorized possession of a firearm, unauthorized possession of a prohibited device or ammunition in a vehicle, and possession of a loaded prohibited firearm.
A bench warrant remains active for Poorman after he failed to appear in Regina court in November.
