A Whitehorse man has been arrested on numerous firearms-related charges following a string of incidents spanning several months.

“On June 20, Ross River RCMP received a report of several firearm-related incidents that had occurred over the past several months at the Drury Creek highway camp located between Carmacks and Faro,” the RCMP said this morning.

The investigation was conducted by Ross River RCMP with the assistance of the Yukon Crime Reduction Unit.

“During the evening of June 28, officers in Yukon RCMP’s Critical Incident Program arrested a 42-year-old male for several (alleged) firearm offences near the junction of the Takhini Hot Springs Road and North Klondike Highway,” police said.

Following the arrest, police executed search warrants at a residence.

Adam Kyle Simpson Morrison, 42, is charged with the following offences:

• two counts of possession of  a loaded prohibited firearm without authorization;
• pointing a firearm;
• possessing a prohibited device (multiple counts);
• unsafe storage of a loaded handgun (two counts); and
• unauthorized possession of a non-restricted firearm (multiple counts).

Morrison appeared in court last Saturday and was remanded into custody until the following day. 

He reappeared in court last Sunday and was released on an order to abide by several conditions. 

Morrison’s next court appearance is scheduled for July 10.
