A Regina man is accused of carrying a loaded pistol on a Greyhound bus.

Police say they responded Monday night to reports of a man with a gun tucked into the waistband of his pants.

As a precaution officers cleared passengers from two buses at the Regina depot before they arrested a suspect.

Police say the gun was loaded with three bullets.

Kevin Coppens, who is 35, faces carrying a concealed weapon and other charges, including possession of drugs.
