A Windsor man has more than a speeding ticket to pay for after a traffic stop on Hwy. 401 on Saturday.
An Ontario Provincial Police officer from the Lakeshore detachment stopped a vehicle speeding along the highway around 1 p.m.
While talking to the driver, he discovered the man had an outstanding warrant for his arrest.
That led to a search which turned up some prohibited weapons, including a loaded handgun, cash, drug paraphernalia, suspected cocaine and opiates.
The 41-year-old now faces 18 charges, including three counts of possession of a prohibited weapon, eight counts of possessing a firearm while prohibited, transporting a firearm carelessly, and careless storage of a firearm.
