A Pre-Trial Conference has been set for the accused in a large drug seizure in Quesnel.
23-year old Farbn Japow is due back in court in Surrey on February 18th.
Japow is charged with a variety of charges, including possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, possession of a weapon for dangerous purpose, flight from police, assaulting a police officer, and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.
The Charges are in connection with an incident back on August 8.
RCMP say they attempted to stop a vehicle on Carson Avenue but the white SUV took off at a high rate of speed.
Police say it was then seen driving dangerously on Anderson Drive and narrowly missed causing a collision.
The vehicle was eventually located heading south on Highway 97 and was successfully disabled with the use of a spike belt.
RCMP say the driver then ran from the vehicle but was apprehended a short distance away with the assistance of a police dog.
Police seized a replica handgun, more than 1.3 kilograms of suspected fentanyl, other assorted illicit drugs, ammunition and more than $7,000 cash.
