By CityNews Halifax Staff

A Lower Sackville man is facing several drug related charges after he failed to show up at court.

Mounties said last month, they followed a man, wanted for failing to attend court, after spotting him driving a Honda Ridgeline on the Bedford Highway.

He was arrested when he parked and got out of the vehicle in a nearby parking lot.

Police said during their search of the man and the vehicle, officers seized cocain, more than 40 prescription tablets, cash and two baseball bats.

Frank George Duffy, 56, is facing a number of charges including Possession of a Controlled Substance for the purpose of trafficking, possession of a controlled substance and failure to comply with a court order, among others.

Mounties said Duffy appeared in court and was remanded into custody. He was scheduled to appear in Dartmouth Provincial Court on Wednesday.
