Man charged with 5 firearms offences after shotgun found in Saskatoon

A 31-year-old man has been charged with obstructing a peace officer and five firearms-related offences after Saskatoon police found a shotgun on him late Saturday, Nov. 7, 2026, in the 900 block of 22nd Street West, police said.

At approximately 10:55 p.m., officers attempted to stop the man, who was riding a bicycle, for an infraction of Saskatoon’s bicycle bylaw. Police said he did not stop.

Officers eventually removed him from the bicycle, but he continued to resist arrest, according to the Saskatoon Police Service. While he was resisting, officers saw ammunition fall from his person and noticed an item concealed in his waistband that they believed was a firearm.

Police said they eventually arrested the man and found him in possession of a shotgun. He faces a charge of obstructing a peace officer, as well as five firearms-related charges. The police release does not name him or give details of the individual firearms charges.

Police did not specify the nature of the alleged bicycle bylaw infraction, the type of ammunition or the type of shotgun in their release.

The court information number for the case is 991356854, and the police occurrence number is 26-121207. The release did not provide a court date.
