Both men were charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking methamphetamine, possession for the purpose of trafficking cocaine, possession for the purpose of trafficking fentanyl, and possession of proceeds of crime over $5,000.

The 48-year-old also was charged with three counts of possession of a firearm contrary to a prohibition order and one count each of careless use of a firearm, possession of a weapon dangerous to the public, carrying a concealed weapon, unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a prohibited firearm, possession of a prohibited or restricted weapon obtained by crime, and breach of a probation order.

The men made their first court appearances in Regina Provincial Court on Monday.
