Drug trafficking charges have been laid against a 17-year-old from Crane River following an incident in the community late Saturday night.
Ste Rose RCMP attempted to pull over a vehicle on Road 481 that they say was unregistered.

The driver then got out of the car and attempted to walk away before being taken into custody by police.
A search of the suspect found individually packaged substances that appeared to be marihuana and crack cocaine, as well as Canadian cash.
The 17-year-old was released from custody pending a future court date.

The Dauphin Rotary Club has a new president.
Jean-Louis Guillas, who previously served as Rotary president during the 2010-11 year, has assumed the duties once again.
"The way our club works is you join the executive as a vice president, so you know that in two years time, you are going to be the president. So I have been on the executive the past couple of years, so it is coming along. We take a one-year term as president of the club."
Guillas replaces Darren Eddie, who held the president's role over the past year.

The R.M. of Dauphin has a new C.A.O.
Reeve Ernie Sirski says Grady Stephenson has been hired to replace Nicole Chychota, who left earlier this year to become the new City Manager in Portage la Prairie.
"He is coming here with some experience in municipal administration, which is a real plus for us. He spent a few years in Carberry, and he comes with good qualifications, and was highly recommended."
Sirski adds he can not say enough good things about Assistant C.A.O. Tyral Solski, who filled in as the acting C.A.O. while a permanent candidate was sought.
"She has done an admirable job. She has been with the municipality for a long time, but, still, when you have to step into that role, and not only do her own work but also the work of the Chief Administrative Officer, it had to put a strain on her. So we commend her very much for what she did."
Stephenson's first day with the Municipality is July 28th.
