A routine Innisfail RCMP traffic stop led police to a suspect wanted on warrants, drugs, ammunition and a handgun.
Police said officers were on patrol in the town about 11 p.m. on Halloween when they stopped a vehicle downtown. It turned out the driver was wanted on outstanding warrants from the Edmonton Police Service.
The driver was arrested and a vehicle search turned up 1.1 ounces of fentanyl, 1.3 ounces of cocaine, five grams of methamphetamine, cash, shotgun ammunition and a stolen .357-calibre Magnum handgun.
A 38-year-old Edmonton man has been charged with three drug trafficking-related charges, 10 weapons-related charges, five counts of breaching release conditions and possession of stolen property.
The suspect remains in custody and is due in Red Deer provincial court on Nov. 10.
