A Dauphin man arrested and charged following a traffic stop in the city last summer is finally set to go to trial later this year. 

In June of last year, Mounties pulled over a vehicle that they witnessed speeding on Main Street.

After noticing a strong smell of alcohol and a large bag of unmarked cigarettes, police arrested the driver when he failed a roadside breath test. 

A further search of the vehicle turned up a homemade gun with a bayonet attached to it, as well as used and unused ammunition, several cell phones, and some cash. 

37-year-old Christopher Bilay appeared in Dauphin court earlier this week, where a trial date of October 2nd was set.
