SASKATOON, Sask. – A man is facing numerous firearms-related charges after being found in possession of a shotgun late Saturday night in Saskatoon.
At approximately 10:55 p.m. on Nov. 7, police attempted to stop a man on a bicycle for a Saskatoon Bicycle Bylaw infraction in the 900 block of 22nd Street West. The man did not stop for police.
Officers were eventually able to remove the man from the bike but he continued to resist arrest. As the man was resisting, officers observed ammunition fall from the man's person and noted that an item believed to be a firearm was concealed in his waistband. The man was eventually arrested and was found to be in possession of a shotgun.
As a result, the 31-year-old man has been charged with Obstructing a Peace Officer and five other firearms-related charges.
