Police believe the home was tied to the suspect.<\/p>\n<p>During the search, officers seized a loaded 9mm handgun, handgun ammunition and $7,819.60 in cash. Police say they also found 59.9g of fentanyl, 17.5 grams of cocaine and 10.6 grams of methamphetamine.<\/p>\n<p>Police says the handgun had been stolen from Strathmore, east of Calgary.<\/p>\n<p>During the arrest, a suspect was believed to have thrown away a firearm before being taken into custody, police say.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Allen Storey, 45, faces 19 charges. They include 10 counts of possessing a firearm and ammunition against a prohibition order, three counts of possessing a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking and one count of possessing proceeds of crime over $5,000. He is also charged with resisting arrest, carrying a concealed weapon and other firearms-related offenses.
