At approximately 11:30 p.m. last night, city police officers were on routine patrol in the downtown area when they observed a vehicle in which a male who was wanted, was possibly riding in.
A vehicle stop was initiated and the male passenger identified himself with a name other than who the officers believed him to be.
Another officer attended to the area and positively identified the male as 21-year-old Gregory Charrette of Metzger Street.
Mr. Charrette was wanted on a Canada-wide parole warrant for breaching conditions of his release from a Federal Penitentiary.
Upon his arrest, the accused was found to be in possession of an illegal drug.
He was further charged with possession of a controlled substance and obstructing a police officer.
He will be appearing in bail court later this morning.
