Police were called about an erratic driver on the Perimeter, and stopped the vehicle just west of Highway 7 around 6 p.m.

The driver resisted arrest, police said, and gave a false name once he was in custody.

When police discovered his real name, they found he was the subject of multiple warrants in Quebec and Ontario. A search of the vehicle turned up weapons, including a conducted energy weapon.

The man, 26, is in custody facing a raft of weapons charges, as well as charges of identity fraud, obstructing a peace officer and various traffic offences.

Police said additional charges may be added as the investigation now involves police agencies from multiple provinces.
