A Smoky Lake man is facing charges after mounties allege he was driving around with a shotgun in a stolen vehicle.
The RCMP says on the afternoon of July 1st they pulled over a vehicle near the Buffalo Lake Metis Settlement on Highway 855 after noticing the license plate didn’t match what was being driven.
