A 31-year-old man from Pinehouse Lake is facing several charges after allegedly being found intoxicated in a public place.

That’s according to an RCMP media release, which states the man was first arrested for being intoxicated in a public place on June 13. During a search of the male, officers discovered he was in possession of 21 grams of cocaine, seven grams of cannabis, and $2,010 in Canadian currency. Officers seized the items.

During the early hours of June 14, police said a search warrant was executed on the male’s residence, where officers located and seized additional cocaine, drug paraphernalia and other items from the residence which require further examination.

Gregory Natomagan has been charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking cocaine, possession of property obtained by crime less than or equal to $5,000 and failure to comply with an undertaking.
