A man from Sandy Bay First Nation is facing charges and multiple weapons were seized during a traffic stop in Portage this week.
On Monday, Feb. 8, RCMP were patrolling the area on Saskatchewan Avenue West when they came across a vehicle without a license plate and working taillights.
The officer stopped the vehicle and noticed two shotgun shells in the backseat, with a search of the car locating two loaded firearms and an extendable baton.
Police say the man had no identification and no license and provided a false name.
The suspect was taken to the detachment where he was identified, and police learned the man was on conditions to not possess firearms, not consume alcohol, and follow a curfew.
27-year-old Jordan James McIvor from Sandy Bay First Nation faces a number of charges including possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, unsafe storage of a firearm, and failure to comply, among other charges.
McIvor also faces charges under the Highway Traffic Act for not having a licence and the Liquor, Gaming and Cannabis Control Act for having open alcohol in the vehicle.
He remains in custody.
