It says border officers and the RCMP executed search warrants on the man’s vehicle and boat in June, seizing two firearms, a spring-loaded baton, a stun gun and “trafficking quantities of illegal drugs.”
The border agency says the man was charged on Nov. 28 with nine offences, including possession of a restricted firearm and four counts of possession of drugs with the purpose of trafficking.
It says he will appear in court in Salmon Arm, B.C., on Jan. 7.
