The accused was stopped for speeding and subsequently arrested for driving with a suspended license under the Highway Traffic Act.
During the arrest, the officer smelled alcohol and made an approved screening device demand, which the accused refused, leading to the vehicle being towed.
An inventory search of the trunk revealed a satchel containing a loaded handgun, drugs, and the accused's identification.
The court dismissed the accused's Charter applications alleging racial profiling and arbitrary detention, finding the arrest lawful and the utterances voluntary.
The accused was found guilty of multiple firearms and driving offences, possession of MDMA for the purpose of trafficking, and simple possession of cocaine.
