The 27-year-old was stopped after police received a report of a suspicious man in the 300-block of Douglas Street late Friday night. Police attended and a short time later located a man that fit the description in the area of Riverview School. The man was detained and during a search several small bags of marijuana were located, totalling 13 grams.

In an attempt to diffuse the situation, police moved one block over to complete the process of detaining the suspicious man, but the second man refused to let the officers do their job, following them to the new location and continueing to interfere with the officers. After repeated warnings, the drunken man persisted, forcing officers to arrest him and transport him to the Brandon Correction Centre.
