A man charged following a traffic stop in Dauphin, that resulted in the seizure of a homemade weapon, was in Dauphin Court yesterday (Tue).
Last June, RCMP spotted a vehicle speeding northbound on Main Street, and pulled it over.
They noticed a strong smell of alcohol and a large bag of unmarked cigarettes.
The driver failed a roadside alcohol screening test, and Mounties also discovered a homemade gun with a bayonet attached, along with used and unused ammunition, several cell phones, and some cash.
37-year-old Christopher Bilay of Dauphin faces numerous charges, and was remanded in custody for his trial on October 2nd.
