Canadian man arrested in MN pleads guilty to illegal weapons charge

A Canadian man has pleaded guilty to transporting 67 illegal guns in a rented truck that was pulled over on I-94 in northwestern Minnesota earlier this year.

Authorities said 29-year-old Dayne Sitladeen of Ontario was a passenger in a truck that was pulled over near Fergus Falls in January for driving close to 100 miles an hour.

A state trooper searched the truck after he smelled marijuana … and Sitladeen and the driver gave him fake IDs.

That’s when a bag of guns was discovered. Court documents state that Sitladeen was in the country illegally.

At the time he was wanted on a 2019 Canadian arrest warrant for first-degree homicide, fentanyl distribution and possession of proceeds of crime.
