The driver, identified as Dustin Bishop, began to reach for something and the officer then ordered him out of the car. Another officer then recovered a loaded handgun that was tucked in Bishop’s pants with a round in the chamber.
It’s unclear if cannabis was also uncovered in the search.
Bishop was arrested and charged with unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. His bond has been set at US$25,000 ($31,500).
Closer to home, two Ontario residents were recently busted when a distinctly skunky smell was emanating from their truck. The two men were stopped at a RIDE check in the Almaguin Highlands when officers picked up the scent of cannabis.
