A machete. Knives. A baseball bat. A “Beretta”-style airsoft pistol, brass knuckles, two ski masks and a wig.

That was what transit police allegedly found in the possession of Albert Edgar Fontaine when they arrested him on a Canada-wide warrant on Feb. 5, according to a news release.

The driver provided police with an alias and fraudulent identification, according to police.

Officers later determined that Fontaine was the driver, and that he was wanted on a warrant for parole revocation.

That revocation stemmed from charges of kidnapping and use of an imitation firearm in 2016, from the Penticton-area.

Fontaine, it turned out, was also a suspended driver and was bound by conditions; he was prohibited from possessing weapons and he had a 10 p.m. curfew.

He now has three new charges against him: possession of identity documents, possession of a prohibited weapon and failing to comply with a probation order.

Fontaine was scheduled to appear in in Surrey Provincial Court on Friday.
