A man is in custody following a roadside stop conducted by RCMP in Dauphin, Man.
Officers on patrol Tuesday night spotted a vehicle driving at high speeds, northbound at Main Street in Dauphin, prompting a traffic stop. A roadside alcohol screening test was taken for the 37-year-old driver, which police say he failed.
A search of the vehicle yielded a bag of unmarked cigarettes, a homemade gun with an attached bayonet, ammunition, multiple cellphones, and Canadian currency. Officers say the suspect breached several of his parole conditions related to drug-trafficking charges.
The suspect now faces a slew of other charges, from the unauthorized possession of a firearm or prohibited weapon, driving while impaired, and the possession of property obtained by crime.
