A Dawson Creek man is facing a slew of charges after a large seizure of drugs from a home in the city over the weekend.
The Grande Prairie RCMP says they received a report of a vehicle with an alleged stolen license plate parked near Crystal Ridge. When police arrived, a man was seeing leaving a nearby home and getting into the vehicle.
The male suspect, according to police, drove off but was halted by approaching officers. The suspect then attempted to flee on foot, prompting a brief foot chase, which ended when the male was taken into custody.
A search of the vehicle, and subsequent search of the residence turned up, among other things more than 2.5 kg of ketamine, 13 grams of fentanyl, 10 grams of cocaine, a pill press and other items police describe as drug trafficking paraphernalia.
The 41-year-old is now facing charges including possession of a stolen vehicle, assault on a police officer with a weapon, possession for the purpose of trafficking and resist arrest.
