A 45-year-old man is in custody after a smoke-screen training grenade was discovered in his possession at the Grace Hospital on Monday.
Winnipeg police responded at around 5:30 a.m. to the 300 block of Booth Drive after security flagged an intoxicated man on the premises. During the interaction, staff found the grenade and called police. The device was turned over to the bomb unit, which determined it was non-explosive but active.
Kevin George Daniels has been charged with possession of a firearm, possession of a restricted or prohibited weapon, and two counts of possessing a firearm part or ammunition contrary to a prohibition order. He remains in custody.
Police say the origin of the device is under investigation.
