No bell on bicycle led to multitude of charges for man

A man riding a bicycle on a sidewalk in Edmonton, Canada, on Tuesday was stopped by police because he didn’t have a bell on his bike.



After stopping the 25-year-old man, police said he gave them a fake name. He was then arrested for obstruction.

As he was being arrested, a knife fell out of his pants. Officers searched him and his backpack and found a sawed-off shotgun, drugs and trafficking paraphernalia.



The man is now facing 18 charges for weapons, trafficking, obstruction and breaching conditions. He was also given a ticket for riding a bicycle without a bell.

Past tense of saw is sawed, but sawed off shotgun looks wrong when compared to sawn off shotgun.
Where is a linguist when you need one ?

For want of a bell, the knife was found...
