Early Wednesday morning, RCMP said it responded to a fight at a home in the northern Manitoba city after officers were told a man was uttering threats.

Police said when arresting him, they saw firearms parts, drugs, and drug equipment in the home. Officers said they seized the parts, which included barrels, a stock, bullets and magazines.

Authorities said the residence was then secured, and a search warrant was obtained under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.

Mounties said when officers searched the home, they found and seized a crossbow, homemade weapons, around 40 grams of cocaine, “a small quantity of meth,” prescription medication, and more drug paraphernalia.

The 30-year-old suspect has been charged with:

  • Uttering threats
  • Possession for the purpose of trafficking
  • Weapons possession contrary to an order

He is still behind bars, RCMP said.
