An Edmonton resident is facing several charges after local Mounties arrested a man passed out in a vehicle on a rural property in Leduc County last month.
It happened on July 15, 2025, at approximately 1:38 p.m., when Thorsby RCMP attended the property and located a male inside a pickup truck attached to a flatbed trailer. Mounties say he was slumped over in the driver’s seat of the vehicle.
After confirming his identity, RCMP arrested the suspect for an outstanding warrant. Further investigation resulted in Thorsby RCMP locating a loaded firearm inside the vehicle on the passenger seat.
