It wasn't a typical traffic stop for the Swift Current City RCMP in the early hours of Sunday morning.

At around 12:43 a.m. officers conducted the stop on a grey Saturn SC1 and in the process located methamphetamine, hydromorphone, bear mace, and a machete.

As a result, 39-year-old Wayne Podolski was arrested and charged with two counts of possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and two counts of possession of a schedule one substance under the controlled drugs and substance act.

Podolski appeared in Swift Current Provincial Court on Monday.
