Meadow Lake RCMP say that last Sunday around 5:00 a.m., they responded to multiple complaints of an individual using a metal pole to break windows at a residence on the 100 block of 7th Avenue West in the city.
They found a man in the area but he fled the scene. He was arrested shortly after.
Police allege the man had been carrying a bag, which he discarded. Officers say they later seized approximately 42 grams of suspected cocaine from that bag.
Twenty-six year old Brenden Yew of Waseca is charged with drug possession, resisting arrest, having possession of the proceeds of crime, and failing to comply with a release order.

The Edmonton Police Service will be the first police agency in Alberta to launch the HealthIM app aimed at improving responses to calls related to mental health.(Edmonton Police Service)
The Alberta government is investing $789,000 to pilot an app designed to help front-line police officers across the province better respond to mental health crisis calls following a proven track record in other parts of the country.
The HealthIM app is a digital, subscription-based risk-assessment tool developed several years ago by University of Waterloo researchers that's meant to help police screen, de-escalate and track mental health-related calls.

Community advocate calls for hate crime laws to change following Rosslyn School incident

“Our investigation currently shows this began as a consensual school yard fight and was part of an ongoing dispute between a group of male youths that reportedly started late last year.”
The police chief also called for calm from community members after kids involved in the assault have received threats online.
Haruun Ali, a community advocate and candidate running for Edmonton’s Ward Papastew in the upcoming municipal election, agreed with the chief’s comments about threats.
“Anyone that is participating or doing this, please stop,” he said. “This is not what Pazo wants. This is not what’s good for the community."

The Grade 8 student, who CBC News is only identifying by the name Pazo, was swarmed by seven other boys who are seen punching and kicking him. Someone was heard calling him the N-word during the attack.
McFee said the slur was "highly inappropriate" but in itself did not constitute a hate crime.
McFee said some of the students come from racialized communities and have received threats. He called for calm and called out social media posts he said have inflamed the situation.
