Innisfail stolen vehicle investigation leads to multiple charges

On January 26, 2014 just after midnight, RCMP Innisfail arrested 2 men in connection with a stolen vehicle investigation on 47 Avenue in Innisfail, Alberta. A search of the occupants and vehicle resulted in the seizure of a loaded sawed off shotgun (within reach of both occupants), a police baton, a knife, ammunition, Canadian currency, a digital scale, 2 cell phones,  along with a quantity of methamphetamine (crystal meth), heroin, cocaine and Oxycodone. A second shotgun was also seized out of the trunk of the vehicle. Two Central Alberta men are being held in custody facing charges of possession of a stolen vehicle, possession of methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin and Oxycodone for the purpose of trafficking, and possession of a loaded prohibited weapon. 20 year old Stephen FEAVER is also charged possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and possession of proceeds of crime. 41 year old Brian PALOMAKI is also charged with breach of an undertaking.
