THUNDER BAY – A traffic stop by city police Tuesday night has resulted in multiple charges for a 29-year-old Thunder Bay man.

Thunder Bay Police Service said in a release issued on Wednesday that a traffic stop was initiated by an officer who observed a vehicle with no rear license plate Tuesday just after 8 p.m. in the area of Frederica and Brown streets.

According to police, the driver exited the vehicle and began to run away.

The officer caught up to the man and attempted to arrest him, however, it wasn’t until other officers arrived that he was taken into custody.

Police said he was searched and officers located drugs, cash and a knife in his possession.

A check of the Canadian Police Information Centre system showed him to be a disqualified driver and on a few court orders.

Ryan Deluney was charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking, possession of a prohibited weapon, resisting arrest, driving while disqualified, possession of property obtained by crime, breach of conditional sentence order and two counts of breach of weapons prohibition order.

In 2011 Deluney was charged with a number of offences following a standoff on Northern Avenue, including robbery with a firearam.

He was remanded into custody.
