Police say they responded to a report of someone in possession of a gun in the 300 block of Dacey Rd. at 12:36 a.m. on Thursday.
Officers say they located the accused sitting in a vehicle, learned he was wanted on outstanding warrants, and arrested him.
A press release issued today by Sault Police states that upon a subsequent search of the trunk of the vehicle, officers located a sawed off shotgun.
As a result, Jacob Boyer has been charged with two counts of breach of recognizance, unauthorized possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm, unauthorized possession of a firearm knowing its possession is unauthorized, occupant of a motor vehicle knowing there is a prohibited weapon in the vehicle and breach of firearm regulations.
He was held for bail court.
