Looks can be deceiving as police detain man with ‘gun and knife’

Police were feeling the heat when responding to reports about a 40-year-old Trail man in possession of a gun and knife near the intersection of Lily Street and Highway Drive, in Trail on Friday, May 30, 2025, at 8:56 p.m.

Officers located the man and discovered he was in possession of a gun and knife shaped lighter.

The man left the area after accepting a ride with the police.

“The man realized he was playing with fire when he carried such poorly chosen shaped objects. In the end, he really only burned himself,” says Sgt. Mike Wicentowich.
