A 28-year-old Dauphin man is in custody following an incident in the city's south end on Saturday night. 

Just before 8 pm that night, Dauphin RCMP were called to a home on 6th Avenue SW after a report of a man with a gun. 

A suspect was taken into custody, although he initially refused to co-operate. 

A subsequent search found the man was wearing body armour and had an imitation revolver, along with ammunition and a baton.  He was also in possession of 18 grams of suspected magic mushrooms, 26 grams of suspected cocaine, as well as marijuana, unmarked cigarettes, and other drug paraphernalia. 

Among the charges laid against Joshua Mckay were Possession for the Purpose of trafficking, Possession of Body Armour, Possession of Ammunition while Prohibited, and weapons possession. 

He remains in custody, with no information on a court date being released.
