Sheriffs in Lethbridge, Alta., say they found more than they expected when they pulled a vehicle over late Saturday night.
It was thought the driver might be impaired, the Lethbridge Police Service said Monday in a release.
Instead of a drunk man, it's alleged Sheriffs found the subject of "a lifetime firearms and weapons prohibition," and "a rifle case in plain view." LPS joined the Sheriffs roadside, and say they seized "a loaded rifle with an overcapacity magazine, a second magazine, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, a ballistic vest, balaclava, baton and handcuffs."Jamey Kenneth Jensen, a 32-year-old Lethbridge resident, now faces multiple charges, most of them firearms-related.
