“Officers attended the area and safely arrested Stephen Morris,” the RCMP said. “The officers also located and safely seized a loaded firearm in a vehicle.”
The RCMP said officers then executed a search warrant at a residence on Sunrise Drive and “seized a crossbow and other items.”
According to the RCMP, Morris has been charged with a total of 11 offences, including using a firearm in the commission of an offence, careless use of a firearm, and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.
