Man carrying bag of cocaine runs smack into police car
2 men, aged 48 and 21, were arrested and charged with possession of cocaine
It probably doesn't get a lot easier for police to make a drug bust.
Officers were patrolling the edge of Winnipeg's Exchange District Thursday night when the side mirror of their cruiser was hit by a man running past.
The officers got out of the car to check on the injured man and called for an ambulance. While waiting, another man walked up and the injured one handed him a clear plastic baggie with a white substance — right in front of the police.
Both men, aged 48 and 21, were arrested and charged with possession of cocaine. The 21-year-old was also charged with failing to comply with a previous court order.
Police won't say which of the men was the one who hit the cruiser but they did say he was not seriously hurt.
They also said the men are related but refused to elaborate.
