A Brandon man arrested following a routine traffic stop near Russell that resulted in drug charges, has appeared in court again.

On December 5, Mounties pulled over a vehicle, and learned that the 34-year-old driver didn’t have a valid licence.

A 50-year-old man was asked to switch spots with the driver, and that’s when police noticed drugs in plain view.

34-year-old Kacey Packham was in Brandon Provincial Court yesterday (Thu), where he was remanded in custody to next Thursday.
