Police charged the 51-year-old with trafficking fentanyl, possession of a firearm without a licence, five counts of possessing a firearm while prohibited, possession of a weapon dangerous to public peace, possession of proceeds of crime, two counts of breach of undertaking and three counts of breach of probation.
During the search of the Rideau Street home, police seized a large amount of cash and fentanyl, along with various firearms and prohibited weapons.
Det. Sgt. Finn said the arrest and the search warrant was unrelated to an incident on Saturday, where a man discharged a firearm in Kingston. That man is still at large.
