Alberta RCMP says a 49-year-old Edmonton man has been charged with allegedly trafficking drugs in the province.

Mounties say on July 24, as officers were conducting patrols east of Sherwood Park, a routine traffic stop led to the man being taken into custody.

An ensuing search led to officers finding and seizing 207 grams of Methamphetamine, 31 grams of Psilocybin, a 9mm loaded and restricted handgun, and ammunition.

He is expected to appear in court on July 30.
