A Saskatoon man charged with a variety of drug, weapons and theft charges is spending Christmas behind bars.

The 25-year-old was arrested Tuesday when police pulled over a vehicle that was driving erratically near the intersection of Avenue W and 21st Street. When police checked, they discovered the vehicle had been reported stolen in Warman, Sask.

That was just the start of the man's problems.

Police discovered a sawed-off Savage shotgun; a sawed-off Chinese rifle; 3.6 grams of methamphetamine; knives, and eight cell phones inside the car.

The man appeared in court this morning.

'It looks to me like firearms-ism and stolen car-ism." - Frank Impey

After reading through the list of charges, prosecutor Frank Impey said that the Crown was opposing his release.

To this, the man started yelling at Impey and the judge.

"This is racism," he said.

"Really?" Impey replied.

"It looks to me like firearms-ism and stolen car-ism."

The man returns to court on Monday for a bail hearing.
