On December 28, 2009, at about 12 midnight, Portage la Prairie RCMP members on patrol observed a 1998 Mazda pick-up truck driving erratically in the parking lot of the Portage Collegiate Institute.
The vehicle was seen to be spinning in circles and fish tailing in the parking lot.
Investigation revealed the lone occupant of the vehicle was in possession of marijuana valued at about $150.00, over $600.00 in cash and drug paraphernalia.
A 17-year-old male from Portage la Prairie was arrested for possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking and possession of property obtained by crime.
He was later released with documents to appear in Portage la Prairie Provincial Court in the new year.
Police continue to investigate.
