Two men are facing charges after the Lethbridge Police Service seized a prohibited firearm and illegal drugs during a traffic stop in Lethbridge, Alberta, on March 10, 2026. Officers pulled over a vehicle in a southside neighbourhood after seeing it driving erratically and noticing the driver smoking from a drug pipe.
A search of the vehicle led to the discovery of an assault-style rifle, which is prohibited in Canada, along with a loaded magazine. Police also found nearly 13 grams of methamphetamine, a small amount of cocaine, and a used drug pipe.
Jordie Alexander Macleod, 44, and Kyle Garth McGinnis, 40, were both arrested and charged with several weapons and drug-related offences. McGinnis faces an additional charge for possessing a firearm while being prohibited from doing so.
Both men have been held in custody following the incident.
