MEDICINE HAT, AB — The Medicine Hat Police Service laid charges against a 26-year-old Airdrie man following a traffic stop on Jan. 21.
During the stop officers seized a .22 calibre rifle loaded with a 25-round magazine along, with 7.2 grams of fentanyl.
Upon further inspection of the firearm, it was noted that the serial number was partially defaced, and the muzzle of the firearm was painted orange in an effort to replicate an “air soft style” weapon.
The man is now facing numerous Criminal Code Offences including possession of a controlled substance, possession of ID documents as well as numerous firearms-related offences.
