A Lac du Bonnet man is in custody after Manitoba RCMP became aware he may have been in possession of a firearm at an area hotel on Monday.
After a search, police found a semi-automatic handgun that was later determined to be the same weapon reported stolen from an RCMP officer’s Winnipeg home in 2019.
The 35-year-old suspect is facing charges of possessing weapons contrary to a court order, possessing a prohibited firearm, possessing a weapon obtained by crime, unsafe storage of a firearm and two counts of failing to comply with a release order.
