Twelve Counts of Holding a Gun He Was Banned From Holding, and the Gun Was Loaded When They Found It: Windsor’s Drugs and Guns Unit Charges Isiah Stephens-Scott, 23, and Puts a Warrant Out for a Second (September 4, 2026)

WINDSOR — Twelve of the twenty-two counts on one charge sheet say the same thing in twelve different ways: this man was not allowed to be near a firearm. The Windsor Police Emergency Services Unit went through the door of a house on Montrose Street shortly before nine on Wednesday evening and, according to the force, found a loaded .45 inside along with roughly ninety grams of cocaine and fentanyl.

Windsor Police published the file on Friday, September 4, 2026. One man is in custody. A second person is wanted on a warrant, and the charges against her are nearly the same.

Twenty-Two Counts, and What the Repetition Means

Stephens-Scott is charged with two counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, one of possession of a loaded prohibited or restricted firearm, one of possession of a prohibited firearm without a licence, one of contravening section 117(h) of the Firearms Act regulation, twelve counts of possession of a firearm while prohibited, four counts of failing to comply with a probation order, and one of failing to comply with a release order. That is twenty-two counts in total.

The twelve prohibition counts are not twelve guns. They are the arithmetic of a man alleged to have been under multiple separate court orders at once, each of which the single recovered firearm is said to have breached. Add the four probation breaches and the release order breach and seventeen of the twenty-two counts on this sheet describe not the possession itself but the fact that he was already legally barred from it.

That is the profile the beat exists to record: not a first firearm on a first charge sheet, but a firearm recovered from someone the courts had already told, repeatedly, to stay away from firearms.

The Second Name Carries Charges Nobody Else Does

The warrant for Kaelyn Cazabon, 21, lists eight counts: two of possession for the purpose of trafficking, possession of a loaded prohibited or restricted firearm, possession of a prohibited firearm without a licence, unsafe storage of a firearm, possession of a firearm while prohibited, possession of ammunition while prohibited, and failure to comply with a release order.

Two of those charges do not appear on the co-accused’s sheet at all: unsafe storage, and possession of ammunition while prohibited. Unsafe storage is a charge about where a gun was kept rather than who was carrying it, and it is the closest the release comes to indicating that investigators attribute the residence, or the firearm’s location within it, to her rather than to the man arrested on entry. Windsor Police do not say so directly, and this briefing does not assert it.

None of the allegations against either accused has been tested in court.

An Emergency Services Unit Entry on a Trafficking Warrant

The tactical detail is worth registering. This was not a traffic stop or a knock-and-announce. The force deployed its Emergency Services Unit to make entry on a drug trafficking search warrant, which is a decision made in advance on a risk assessment — and one that the recovery of a loaded handgun on the premises retroactively explains.

The drug quantities themselves are modest by the standards of files this beat covers: 45.1 grams of cocaine and 45.7 grams of fentanyl, with three scales and two phones alongside them. The scales and phones are the trafficking indicators. The gun is why the charge sheet runs to twenty-two counts.

No criminal organization has been named by the Windsor Police Service in this file, and none is named here.
