Possession of stolen property under $5000;
Possession of proceeds of crime;
Two counts of careless storage of a firearm;
Two counts of possession of a restricted firearm;
Two counts of possession of a loaded firearm;

Production/manufacturing of controlled drugs.
RCMP arrested Boughton in the Okanagan B.C. city on Wednesday afternoon after getting a heads-up from the Calgary Police Service earlier in the day that he might be there.
Cpl. Guillaume Tanguay with the Kelowna RCMP called it 'a very well-executed multi-jurisdictional arrest.'
'This was an excellent example of collaboration between the Kelowna RCMP and our partners at the Calgary Police Service,' Tanguay said.
Boughton remains in police custody.
