May 31, 2019 | 4:15 PM

An Alberta man who was going more than 60 km/h when he drove past a police cruiser with its lights on is now facing a number of drug and weapons charges.

On May 30, members of the Saskatchewan Roving Traffic Unit were working in the Maidstone area when they pulled over the vehicle.

During the stop, the officer made several observations that led to the 25-year-old driver being detained for a drug investigation.

A police dog searched the vehicle and alerted officers to drugs.
