WINNIPEG — A Canadian Forces soldier arrested after a violent party scuffle pleaded guilty to illegal possession of several military training explosives, which cops found scattered around in a room in his Winnipeg home.
Mitchell Wilson, 20, pleaded guilty Tuesday to offences including assault causing bodily harm, possession of property obtained by crime, four counts of possession of goods obtained by crime, unsafe storage and possession of an explosive without lawful excuse.
Winnipeg police, called to an early-morning disturbance at a house party on May 27, 2012, saw their investigation transform into a much larger weapons-related probe requiring the expertise of the bomb unit.
