The 32-year-old suspect is facing a list of 43 charges, including failing to comply with a probation order along with drug trafficking, possession of property obtained by crime and dozens of firearm-related charges.
Twenty-five of the charges are due to an order prohibiting him from having a firearm or ammunition.
