Two men face charges after separate incidents in the Wadena area.

The first happened Aug. 6., when Wadena RCMP stopped a vehicle in Kylemore.

The driver didn’t stop for police and pulled into a driveway where he refused to comply with officers’ directions.

The driver was soon arrested and during a search of the man, they discovered 97 grams of cocaine, 27 grams of crack cocaine, and seven grams of methamphetamine.

A further search of the vehicle yielded a set of brass knuckles and a semi-automatic handgun.
