Police allege that at the time of his arrest, Land was on probation and was carrying fentanyl and a loaded .38 calibre revolver. They also allege that Land obstructed a responding patrol officer.

Land appeared in court Saturday morning and was charged with a slew of weapons and drug offences and obstruction of a peace officer.

During that appearance, Crown prosecutor Fara Rupert told court Land was the subject of a warrant that was being executed at the time. The court heard no details about the nature of the warrant. Land has a criminal record, court heard.
