The Edmonton Police Service says the 32-year-old was wanted on 15 warrants including possession of child pornography, distributing/selling child pornography, possession of a prohibited firearm and multiple failures to attend court.

Edmonton police say he was arrested, with assistance from RCMP, “thanks to public tips.”
