A man stopped by Thompson RCMP on foot patrol in a bar was arrested for drugs after a small bag of cocaine fell out of his headwear while he was talking to them.

Officers were in the Regal Beagle at the Burntwood Hotel around 12:25 a.m. Nov. 6 when they saw a 28-year-old man wearing a logo identifying him as a member or associate of a gang, in violation of Manitoba’s Liquor, Gaming and Cannabis Control Act.

After the man was arrested for drug possession, police determined he had two outstanding arrest warrants and he was remanded into custody pending a court appearance.
