EDMONTON – A man riding a bicycle on the sidewalk Tuesday was stopped by police because he didn’t have a bell on his bike. However, he ended up getting 18 charges and one ticket.

After stopping the 25-year-old man, police said he gave them a fake name. He was then arrested for obstruction.

As he was being arrested, a knife fell out of his pants. Officers searched him and his backpack and found a sawed-off shotgun, drugs and trafficking paraphernalia.

The man is now facing 18 charges for weapons, trafficking, obstruction and breaching conditions.

He was also given one ticket for riding a bicycle without a bell.
